Add to those the Avid/1 non-linear editor from Avid
Technology,
introduced in 1989, which ran on a Mac II using some specialized
hardware. It rapidly became the leading video editing system for
television and film (which, of course, had to be digitized). It
eventually displaced almost all celluloid cutting.
The early Avid systems just commanded the VTR's over RS-422 to go to time
points then punch in, correct? It was non-linear but the video wasn't
digitized or stored on disk?
