McBain Video Program Module

Post by ral-clan »

I have never seen this item before and cannot find any information on it (not my auction). The McBain Video Program Module.

If I had to guess, it overlays the VIC-20's video on top of a video signal (genlock like).

wow, that is neato. I don't think it is for genlock though...maybe just a switcher to go from video to computer, to switch to multiple cameras.

It looks like an unfinished project - the circuit boards are empty. Unless you could find all the components to finish it, this item will not be of much use.

It does make you wonder what this was supposed to be?
