KDKA-TV bumpers (November 1999)

Описание: All of the KDKA-TV related material from a 6-hour EP tape, recorded on in 1999 and 2006.

The full VHS tape contains around 6 hours of KDKA, CBS, and USA Network content, ranging from 1999 all the way to 2006.
Unfortunately something was amiss with the VCR that originally recorded onto the tape in 1999, as there is this pretty nasty bar of white noise throughout the middle of the video - it even desyncs with the top half sometimes. The USA Network material from 2006 is unaffected; I can guess they got a different VCR by that point. This isn't the only tape I have from the same collection, and it exhibits the same exact noise bars in the same places...

The TV programs that play go in order:
Hollywood Squares (November 4th, 1999?)
Diagnosis Murder ("Gangland")
48 Hours ("A Mother Accused")
"Gangs of New York" (2002)

Upscaled to 4K for YouTube using Lanczos4Resize and deinterlaced with QTGMC, all within StaxRip. I left the denoise step out this time, but in the future I think I will leave it on for EP captures.

I do not claim to be well versed in the artform of analog media encoding, so I encourage anyone who knows better to give it a try themselves using the RF samples on the archive.org page: https://archive.org/details/kodak_vhs_1999... (not yet available)

Rest of description is a direct paste from archive.org page:

This archive includes the FM RF copies of the analogue format (VHS). The media was captured with two modified VTImage capture cards (CXADC) at 40MSPS for the video signal, and 10MSPS for the VHS Hi-Fi audio.
This is the original signal off of the medium before processing past initial signal tracking and pre-amplification - a raw master digital copy or medium transfer.

Capture hardware used: 2x VTImage capture cards (CXADC) sampling at 40MSPS, overclocked via https://github.com/namazso/cxadc-clockgen-mod
VCR & Tap setup used: Sony SLV-677HF, PB RF pin 2 on CN261 for video FM RF, CN341 pin 3 for VHS Hi-Fi FM RF
TV System & Tape Format: NTSC, VHS EP
