Some bored engineer at HiTechSys has converted one of their high-end VTR controllers into a completely operational Victorian-styled device. Probably because it was NTSC which was replaced by ATSC a.k.a. HDTV, now 4K soon to be 8K. STOP THE MADNESS. All I want is to be able to watch the VHS pre-enhanced Star Wars on my SD 13-inch analog TV. They gave the guy who did it an award and then showcased it at the NAB trade show.
Not bad. Really pretty good, and I even like the telegraph. But green phosphor CRT’s instead of LCD’s would have impressed me more. And vacuum tubes instead of integrated circuits would have really impressed me.
