Sadly, "broadcast quality" back then meant it could do 640x480 @ 29.97 
fps. The DV video produced by even the cheapest modern DV camera is 
probably still better quality than what the VideoVision is capable of, 
and probably at a lower bitrate too, since the DV codec is much more 
efficient.

I worked on an old beast like this for a few years (first gen. NuBus 
Targa 2000), and it was a CHORE to get decent quality at a bitrate that 
you could manage on an 2x4 GB F/W SCSI RAID 0. And render times...  On 
an 80 MHz 7100?  Better do it over night.

Those were the days.  ;-)
