View source for Dual framestore

{{unsure|Makers name forgotten}}

Analogue vision mixers need all their sources to be genlocked - that is, the signals must all be synchronised - in order to work. In 2000, YSTV's [[Panasonic F10]] cameras had genlock capability and so did the [Amiga], but everything else (VT machines, the [[Mac edit suite]], graphics computers, etc) needed to go through a framestore synchroniser. At that time, we had a single [[P164]] that could act as a framestore synchroniser, but this was rather limiting as it meant we could only handle one non-genlocked source at a time. [[Michael Prior-Jones]] bought a dual-channel framestore second-hand (found on the uk.tech.broadcast newsgroup, I think...) and this gave us the capability to handle three sources into the [[Cox T8]] vision mixer.

The framestore also had a little remote control panel which could be used to do cuts and fades between the two channels, which led us to use it once or twice as a self-contained OB vision path. It became largely redundant with the coming of [[Magic DaVE]].
