Type C videotape
1 inch Type C (designated Type C by SMPTE) is a professional reel-to-reel analog recording helical scan videotape format co-developed and introduced by Ampex and Sony in 1976. It became the replacement in the professional video and broadcast television industries for the then-incumbent 2 inch Quadruplex videotape (2 inch Quad for short) open-reel format, due to the smaller size, comparative ease of operation (vs. 2 inch) and slightly higher video quality of 1 inch type C video tape recorder (VTR). 1 inch type C required less maintenance downtime than Quadruplex videotape, and did not require time base correction to produce a stable video signal.
1 inch Type C is capable of "trick-play" functions such as still, shuttle, and variable-speed playback, including slow motion. 2 inch Quadruplex videotape machines lacked these capabilities, due to the segmented manner in which it recorded video tracks onto the magnetic tape. Also, 1 inch Type C VTRs required much less maintenance (and used less power and space) than did 2 inch machines.

Type C
by: Eye On AttractionLook in my eyes, tell me what do you see?
Am I driven and focused, or I'm not as I seem...
Just a silly boy with a sillier dream
Should I be safe or should I take responsibili-
Fuck these holes won't mend, I am sinking at sea.
I'm alone in the ocean, I will never be free.
I am tethered to the tide, and it keeps me alive...
Tell me, oh omniscient one.
Will I die a loaded gun?
Never doing the thing I love...
I'll never know the plan, you'll never tell.
I'd make a deal, but my soul would never sell.
I have wondered, always wondered, if I have what it takes.
The patience to see patients every night every day.
And for those who would see me, and see me as they may,
Let us hear their prediction, tell me: what would they say?
"You're such a bore, truth be told, what did happen to you?
Outgrew the scene, your dream, where's the man I once knew?
You had potential, such potential, it's been thrown to the side.
Where's the man I loved?"
Tell me, oh omniscient one.
Will I die a loaded gun?
Never doing the thing I love
I'll never know the plan, you'll never tell.
I'd make a deal, but my soul would never sell.
Tell me now oh wicked one.
Will I die a loaded gun?
Never doing the thing I love
You know the plan, I'll ring the bell.
Said its a deal, now you better fucking...
