It's not really the usual tub you get with the stuff... either one small box with the controls, or a few small boxes with controls. I've played with 'real equipment' before. I'll try to post a URL with pictures as soon as I get some shots of it. Actually, with small markets - like cable-company run stations, community TV channels, and LPTV stations, there is a definate market for analog video 'stuff'. My high school TV 'club' still uses analog equipment dating back far enough to make it on-top for this list, at least time-wise. Personally, I don't see analog TV going away for at least another 10 years. There's a lot of people/community stations that can't afford to spend the rediculous prices on new digital equipment when replacements for their analog gear are still available and usable for so much less.

Looks like a DVE (Digital video effects) unit. That is used to squeeze and manipulate video images. These do the key shots of the box in the corner, and sometimes they do flips and perspective shots too. If it works they are worth a few bucks. Gary Hildebrand Patrick Finnegan wrote:

That's one of my hopes. It's an LSI-11/2 in a QBUS chassis, with dec power supply and all, a 4KW memory card, DPE card with eproms on it (could be useful for other purposes without the current ROMS, it has 4 sockets total, only 2 used), an ADC card of some sort, and two DRV11's. Not too bad by itself. If I cant get the whole thing to function (or find a good use for it), I'm definately keeping this interface computer. It'd be nice if it had a bit more RAM, or was a nicer CPU, but still it's QBUS, so it's expandable, so I'm happy :). -- Pat On Wed, 3 Jul 2002, Mike wrote:
