I have here what looks like a Microchannel Video/Audio subsystem. It has
a Lucent logo on the breakout box. It is a full-length card and 3/4
length daughter card full of PLD and ASICS and other fat SMD chips. There
is a header and 20-way shielded ribbon cable.
The breakout box has two 1/8" jacks marked LEFT - MICROPHONE - RIGHT and
beneath that a slide switch for mono/stereo.
Then two yellow RCAs marked 2 - VIDEO - 1
Beneath that are 8 RCAs in two groups, AUDIO 1 and 2, LEFT/RIGHT,
INPUT/OUTPUT.
On the boards themselves, the main board is marked 'PCI ENCODER VER4' in
solder mask - one big visble chip has:
"LSI" logo; L64745QC-30
JPEG CODER
WK82164P
NNG 9540
6A13COPBFAA
Another similar chip nearby says "DCT PROCESSOR"
Obviously this is a Video / Audio capture subsystem of some kind.
It also is obviously an advanced prototype - the breakout box is a
standard molded plastic 'project box' with 'Brother P-Touch' type lables
on it.
Anyway, rather than put it on eBay (undoubtedly finding out that I have
a priceless artefact that will ensure my happy and contented retirement) I
thought I'd just see if anybody here a.) recognizes it and b.) wants it...
Cheers
