They were commonly used for computer interactive video especially for
CAI systems. A company I worked for in the mid-to-late 80s installed
hundreds of PC-based systems with Pioneer LV players, one at every main
Jaguar dealership, and I was one of the repair staff for the Pioneer kit.
A postscript... was that The Soft Option? You got me digging through some of
my Domesday-related scans, and I notice a flyer of theirs list Jaguar (on
behalf of the National Computing Centre) as one of their major clients, using
the Intaview videodisc workstation...
(it only lists various Philips and Sony players as supported, however, but
does say 'others on request')
