How did you do video editing in the 1990's?
With an $80k Panasonic WJ-MX1200 NLE video editing box, that's how. Dave takes a look inside.

Done.
Crap, I forgot about firewire!
And now, Dave edits his next video on this
We had one at school. Coming from video tape editing to this marvel was a big step forwards. It almost never crashed and the speed of working with it was great. Price back then (around 2000) was around €25000
You should dump all roms and the hard drive for this, if you still have it
Typical 90's Japanese futuristic design language lol
Send it to mr Carlson's lab, he would probably fix it👍
Its not pentium5 its socket 5 pentium 1 166mhz cpu
I worked in high-end post through to the end of the 90s, and Panasonic had a pretty small presence. We would have been very keen to play with this around 95, but had some fantastic tools from Sony, Quantel, Ampex and a range of really high end gear.
That control panel looks really cheesy prosumer. If you get the chance, dig into the really high end worksurfaces.
Absolutely have to agree the mechanical serviceability of these units was usually near perfect…
If you ever get the chance look for an Ampex technical manual of the early 90s
Id love to use one of those controllers on my pc
Vintage electronic is priceless, don't trash it!
All replaced by single general purpose CPU 🙂 (ignoring the GPUs and integrated hardware acceleration parts inside cpus and gpus that do certain encode decode etc in hardware)
Do people really think you find this junk?
First time i went: Noooooooooo! Turn that f*cker on, before taking it apart 😀
Interesting, but why not try it out before stripping it down, now that would have been really interesting….
Good video, but geez your voice is annoying as hell and I’m an Aussie also, your over excitement comes across as fake and annoying, just speak normally will you.
I don't think anyone thought the vibra 16 was the duck's guts
WHAT A BOBBY DEZZLER
You make a tare
down like a r coerce meal luv it onto my steak great stuff
Ewww… Prager U ad…🤢🤢🤢
HDD interesting
I actually used one of these during my 10th grade video production class. In the mid 1990s, if you didn't have a massive budget, the system was absolutely amazing.
the analogue thingy in the top corner is very likely a YUV/NTSC/Y/C encoder and decoder matrix……….
likely motion jpeg 2000
Windows NT3.51 pre windows NT4.0
There were lots of other standalone NLE systems out there during this time frame… Editdroid, Lightworks, Avid, Quantel Henry, Hal, paintbox, and Editbox, media 100, Amiga video toaster, DPS, Softimage, and many others!
my school had a Fast Av master running on windows 3.1
challenge: make 1 month just videos with this thing XD
at the moment you show the genuine bug you can See a loose SMD resistor… dont know if this can cause a Boot failing but yeah it might be an idea
my guess is that you may want a network card in the expansion slot to be used for network storage of videos.
or possibly a scsi expansion card.
