Because I monitor mame WIP thread I saw some news about Quantel Paintbox emulation in MAME (0) and then I randomly followed some links to other Quantel systems

Like HAL (basically like hardware compositor)

99 layers of SD images or video, up to 15 min storage on 20 disk array!



if you have half of hour you can watch this demo from 1997. Biggest thing so far for me? We are free to use old-fashioned optical effects in front of real camera too :)




update on restoring one of those boxes

"DL250 Quantel HAL & Dylan Restored & Working!"

all those 20 mechanical scsi drives were replaced by scsi emulators ... and .... it worked!

Not completely realtime, but interestingly fast.

vid itself is 1h long.
