P164

This is the processing engine behind the Maurice control unit, a fact that has lead to some confusion, and many people calling a P164 a Maurice.

It provides range of video processing functions in real time, thus making a very useful machine to have around in the days before computer edit suites, or for live events. As a result whilst the unit in the studio vision path is rarely used in the way it used to be, units are regularly used on outside broadcasts either to Genlock a free-running video source or to provide some urgently needed video manipulation like zooming a projector feed or keystoneing a warped picture.
