WINDCO television equipment (05). Figure 8: Ampex DR-10 Videodisk. The videodisk provides storage for over 600 separate TV frames. Video sync is governed by an optical tachometer mechanically coupled to the disk. During loading, a gated oscillator is locked to the horizontal sync pulses and determines the rate and starting time for emptying the fast core registers onto the disk. Playback for display is completely compatible with standard TV, permitting use of the entire range of industry technology available as off-the-shelf hardware. Interfacing to a TV station is also possible for transmission of the satellite images and other interpretive material to the general public.
