The Video Computer: Image Computing in the Studio
Proposed is a general-purpose video computer that combines and extends many studio or post-production functions now available only in separate pieces of equipment. The ideal machine is described and the level of its development noted. The restrictions of real time and broadcast day are compared. The conclusion is that the video computers are a viable idea for broadcast-day turnaround and that the hardware already exists as so-called image computers — general-purpose digital computers for computations on images. Software houses, consequently, could immediately begin preparing applications on video computers for the broadcast video market.
