Steampunk'd Broadcast Controller

Jake von Slatt — Wed, 09/30/2009 - 12:40

Tom Favell of Hi Tech Systems writes:

Your website gave me the inspiration to make a steampunk version of one of
our controllers for a recent trade show. I had never heard of steampunk and
was going to make a 30's style unit all Bakelite with large dials, when a
friend told me about your website.

The result is pretty awesome!  As I understand it, this is a fully functional broadcast controller that controls video mixing and editing software via USB, serial or network connections. There are more pictures here and be sure to click through to watch a video of  the first showing of the extraordinary Comptometer from Hi Tech Systems Ltd, at IBC 2009.

I can't help but be impressed, especially by the inclusion of a Nixie tube based display.

I really like how deadpan this guy is when explaining everything. Talk about devotion.
