20 Feb 2010
Been a long time since I made an update.
Some interesting things have been added to the collection recently.
Sony BVW-40 Betacam VTR
Sony CRK-2000 Chroma Keyer
Sony SEG-2550 Special Effects Generator
I have wanted to get one of these for a long time. This one is in good condition and works well.
It can be connected to my BVE-900 Editing Controller to allow automated editing from multiple sources.
19 May 2008
Menu fixed.
Page footer updated.
18 May 2008
New menu added to the site.
Looks like it needs a tweak as it only looks nice in good old IE6.
It was also 1 year today the video equipment collection part of my site changed from individual
HTML files to a fully dynamic PHP / MySQL system.
The collection pages have been visited by 6960 unique IP addresses since they were opened to the
www one year ago.
