Steampunk’d Broadcast Controller

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.
