Default Sound in sync's

I have wondered for some time about sound in sync.
Has this ever been successfully done and was it ever done on 405?

Invented at the BBC in the 1960s and used for distribution of programmes to transmitters. Never broadcast AFAIK.

Presumably never done on 405. I once designed a SIS stripper for a client. It took a video signal with SIS and restored the standard sync pulses.

Hi Trevor,

If you (or someone else) have a pile of 'Practical Television' magazines, there's an article on it in the January 1969 issue - BBC's Sound-in-Vision Distribution System by T. John (page 154, 155 and the last bit on page 165.)

I've got it in front of me at the moment, unfortunately I haven't got a working scanner. (I've been meaning to scan it and post it here eventually as it's interesting; maybe someone else can oblige?)

Hi Jeffrey & Kat.
Many thanks for the replies, I certainly would like a look at the article in Television. I should be able to get the issue from Bob over here.
I asked as David Boynes is here for the for the weekend and we were talking about a compacted system for 405 line transmission with a reduced bandwidth for vision of 2mhz and a way to obviate the sound carrier.

Was this how the likes of the Sony PCM-F1 shown here worked perhaps:-

The PCM-F1 occupied the whole video signal on Betamax tape to store digital audio, but I believe it used a higher sample rate and bit depth than SIS.

Dave, it may be better to put the scans in a ZIP file and upload that. You won't have the forum resizing the images then.

Hi Dave.
Thanks for the zipped files, perfect thanks. Had a busy weekend with David here but the car went on the blink so we have been busy with that too.
I will study all the info during the week.

I think you'll find that Pye were the first people to use a form of sound in syncs. It was used in their first 2 camera OB van which, I believe, was produces in the very early 50s - perhaps someone could look in the History of Pye TVT book as it's mentioned in there and my copy's out on loan. It was to enable one channel of RF from the OB to base to be used, rather than 2.

Hi Brian,

Pye did indeed have a sound in syncs system, it was called "videosonic" and was used with the 1947 2 camera demonstration Humber OB van. It sampled the audio at line rate (405) and put a analogue value repersenting the audio level in the sync period, so the channel bandwidth could not have been much more than 4.5Kc/s, OK for the period.

The BBC designed system that was digital and it was manufactured by Pye, in a nice reflection on history. The SIS system was later developed into a stereo one.
