developed in 1969. It made its debut at NAB in 1970. The CMX 600 was very
far ahead of its time because not only was it the first off-line editor, it
was also truly non-linear. It was very expensive, with a complete system
including the assembler portion costing close to $500,000. There were only 6
systems built including the prototype, one was a PAL system sold to Rank
Studios in London. There were 3 systems in New York, CBS, EUE Screengems,
and Teletronics. There were 2 systems in Hollywood, CBS, and CFI, with
the CFI system ending up at Trans American Video for a while. To my
knowledge there is only one system left, it's in my shop here in Southern
Oregon. The system in my shop was originally the CBS New York system which
was bought by One Pass in San Francisco and when finally taken out of
service, ended up with me.<BR><BR>This relic needs to be in a museum, but
since it's so big, there have been no takers. Anyone know of any
possibilities?<BR><BR>Tom Werner<BR>Southern Oregon Public
