Hello,

Does anyone have some info on devices which can store frame by frame video  
on a videodisc, and then be able to display it as video film ?  I know  
that Sony has such a thing, but it is rather expensive. It should be  
controllable by RS port.

We use a Panasonic TQ3031F Optical Disk Recorder, it has a bunch of inputs,
S-VHS, RGB, Composite etc.  Same for outputs.  It uses cartridges that are
quite large (Laserdisc size, plus a plastic outer shell to protect the media
from accidents.)  You can't play normal laser discs in it unfortunately.  Each
side stores 30 minutes at 30 fps.  The model number for the cartridges is
TQFH332. I don't know what the Recorder costs.  The cost for the media is
$395.00 per cartridge.

One other point, the Panasonic unit does have an RS232 port in it. Its a 
removable module.  Other options include RS422 and you can daisy chain mutliple
recorders together.  The protocol is pretty simple and was easy to code.
