A video within a video

This will make more sense once the next proper video comes out, but I thought you'd all get a kick out of it. This is a 3.5 minute video on a dumb little gadget I had... which I shot and edited entirely on Betacam SP, using an early-90s linear editing rig. Three guesses what the next video is about. Keep your stick on the ice!

Heh I remember somewhat the opposite - I’d send relatively crappy (back in 2000ish) video from my PC to my CRT TV (not the CRT monitor) and would think damn, that TV makes this compressed video look a lot less crappy..!

OK, I did some research. I googled "Foursome", I learned a fuckton and I'm happy to share my findings. I'll need three volunteers

I don't have a general one planned, but I have other ENG cameras I intend to cover, yes.

New to the CRD patreon so please excuse me if this question has been asked before, but is there going to be another video on ENG cameras?

You know...I remember pro video looking better than this. Betacam was used well into the 90s and I don't remember it looking crap. I wonder if it's because of the LCD screens we use now.

I genuinely thought I had a weird graphics driver issue for a moment. then I remembered its you and I was brought up in the VHS era and everything made sense again. Until the colt rock part...

when the gun company is more likely to kill you with mesothelioma than with a magnum (after reading the description) hm I'm now wondering if you're the one who picked up a betacam sp deck from shopgoodwill that was mislabelled as an audiocassette deck =p

Pietro Gagliardi

my main takeaway is that if I was alive in 1987 i'd be receiving your videos by mail in tape form.

The long rumored Video Toaster video?

"Information about this thing online is scarce" I wonder if the split design was some attempt at making manufacturing easier - perhaps making two plastic shells and two paperboard fillers, and plugging them together so that the paperboard was totally hidden, was cheaper or easier than trying to make a single shell and a filler plate both out of plastic?

NEED to see the editing rig

When you need to fit four prongs into one place, you need a Foursome™.

The only thing I can think of for being two pieces is maybe there was some regulation at the time that you couldn't have splitters that were also extension cords? So they had to ship it as "an extension cord plus a splitter" and leave it on the customer to plug the two together?
