In this video i begin a big project to restore a 1995 vintage Quantel HAL Express back to working.
The HAL was a post production video compositing and effects system from the 1990s. It helped bring onto your screen all those edgy graphics we saw on TV in the early 1990s.

Some of the episodes were edited and compiled and released onto Laserdisc for the North American market.
This video is a restoration of that Laserdisc version. It features four of the original programs in a compiled and edited feature.
This features David Hockney, Larry Rivers, Howard Hodgkin and Jennifer Bartlett.
I would like to thank everyone involved with the Domesday86 and ld-decode projects for their assistance in getting the highest quality video off the Laserdisc.

In this video i take a tour around an unusual bit of hardware used in automation. The SmartImage Sensor 620 was manufactured by DVT in the early 2000s. It combines a video camera with hardware processing to provide machine vision for production and processing automation.
