whats it called because i want to google it and sit staring at spec sheets and advertisements for an hour

I don't know beyond genlock

but my understanding is that everything on set is synchronized to the same SMPTE timebase for purposes of genlock etc.

the "weird over-engineering" was also important for certain workloads

example: being able to support a half gigabyte of RAM at a time that cost tens of thousands of dollars, because some users would actually use it for simulation or whatever

family-owned sony was like pre-1992 daimler mercedes where the engineers ran the show and it was glorious and maddening

I always wanted one of their "highlighter" photocopiers from the late 1980s: shaped like a thick highlighter, you drag it over a line of text in a book and a strip of thermal paper comes out with that text

in 1989 or 1990, visiting relatives in Minneapolis, I wandered into some spartan Sony showroom next to the furniture store my family was shopping at and had an amazing time gawking and managed to pilfer one of each of their catalogs

it's my sincere hope to find those catalogs online someday so I can see some of the insane poo poo Sony was doing then again, since after all virtually all of the actual products will have entirely disintegrated by now

my current receiver came with 2 remotes, a big fuckoff one with 100 buttons and one that basically just does volume, input switching and menu access

'sup, ES era buddy

got a 5400ES myself, wore out the center button on that remote by programming a succession of Apple TVs to recognize it

rather liked the feel of it, rather dislike the ability to find a replacement

i wonder if you can just scan random poo poo with it and unroll it into a strip because i can think of a lot of art uses for it

probably

it's probably also easy to reverse engineer with a logic analyzer
