This is my 3/4" U-matic off-line editing suite from 1989/90. There are 2 Sony U-matic VTR's, and a Sony DAT machine. All have a seperate timecode track, and are controlled via RS-422 by a Calaway Editing CE-75. The two keyboards on the TV table are for the CE-75. The editing software is running on a PC clone which is in the grey box on top of the flight case with a yellow on black monitor on top of it. The QUERTY keyboard is for adding notes (I still have this keyboard!), and the keyboard in front of it has the transport controls for the VTRs, and the dedicated buttons for setting up edits. The interesting thing about this is the black Jog/Shuttle knob in the bottom right of the editing keyboard. It has a dedicated 286 processor and consists of an optical shaft encoder and a stepper motor. The encoder provides positin information, and the stepper gives haptic feedback! By pressing a button above the knob it would switch mode. In Jog the stepper was energised to give a "cogging" effect to provide feel. It would also stop the knob if you let go. In Shuttle the "cogging" effect was removed, and the stepper would provide hard limits at + & - 90 degrees, plus a centre stop effect, and a "return to centre spring" effect when let go. Very clever device, but this editing keyboard was a £750 (in 1990 money!) add-on! This whole set-up, not including the DAT which I had rented, set me back nearly £20K.
