Pacific Video in 1979 on.  We could do 54 seconds of video.  Had the
best programmable record and playback controls that we automated with our
editing systems.  We knew of one other in the LA area and that was at Hanna-Barbera. 
We shared notes and tech issues with them.  We would load the paper tape
every morning (along with the CMX systems) just to be sure there were no glitches
carried over from the night before.  The units are probably sitting up in
the attic there today but not sure.  <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Then we built the ESS-2 which would handle real time video. I don't know how
