Ampex ADO-1000 Digital Video Effects 

I used ADO in 1988 in a television commercial. It was something fantastic at that time. and producing charged very expensive. Very cool this video.

people may laugh now at the effects. But actually thinking about how that pringles-commercial must have been made at the time with this tech makes me humble...

Those were the days of real time proprietary effects boxes. A lot of programming, but no rendering and re-rendering. About $150 - $200 an hour at post facilities in L.A. during the late 80's/early 90's. Remember Quantel's Mirage and Sony's System-G?

It's weird to think I was watching this stuff when I was a kid.

I still have my ADO-1000 storage disk!

Wow! Such crisp video! Much HD!

is there a digital emulation of this?

What's the name of background music??
