Functionality of "VIDEO MACHINE" as announced by FAST Electronics
Video Machine (VM) is a desktop video controller for the PC/Mac
o on/off line editing for A/B roll editing
o the VM digities 2 input video signals (4:2:2 format) and synchronice these
with two built in TBC's. The two digital images can be modified by digital
effects and combined with a digital keyer/mixer/bue-box. Finaly the result is
converted to an analog video signal again.

o 2D video effects in software: zomm, slides, curtain-effects, shrink, thumbles,
etc.
o chroma keying, luminace keying
o antialaising for titles, support for alpha channel
o Input: Composite, S-VHS, YUV (optional)
PAL,NTSC, SECAM
o Ouput: Composite, S-VHS, YUV (optional), RGB (optional)
PAL,NTSC, SECAM
o It is possible to combine different video standards in the editing process.
o Supported timecodes: VITC, LTC (read/write)
RCTC, Rapid Timecode of GSE (read)
o Generates EDT (Edit Descision List) in SMPTE format. Converters to CMX, Sony,
Ampex systems.
o with an additional digital recorder/player (compression board and xy GByte
disk) it will be possible to perform non-linear offline cuts. (the output is
then a EDL for the control of a analog linear online system)
o broadcast (?), commercial video quality
o price: about 6000-.... US$
o VM will be shipped in Sept. 92 in two versions
A. for "video user" with an additional interface box holding
three RS422 (!!),
S-VHS/Composite Video Input/Output,
Sync-Input, etc. connectors, and
B. for "computer users" with only S-VHS/Composite Video Input/Output. In this
case the VCR controlling is done by PC's/Mac's RS232 interface.

In article <1992Jul24.085150.2297@news.tu-graz.ac.at>, mue@piis10.joanneum.ac.at (Heimo MUELLER (IIS)) describes a PC-controllable system for mixing video signals with video effects, usable with either Macintosh or DOS PCs. What, no QuickTime support??? Boring...! Lawrence digital VideoBigot
