Visit https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm Visit our website www.PeriscopeFilm.com Dating to 1972, this brief, silent film promotes the then-new Digivue Panel, which was one of the first functional plasma panel systems. Digivue (seen at 1:00 of the film in an equipment rack) was an innovative, electronic editing and display system developed by Owens Illinois. It was suggested as a replacement for the standard cathode ray tube with an 8.5-inch sandwich filled with gas plasma. A matrix was formed between the glass sheets, consisting of metallic conductors. Used in conjunction with a computer, alphanumeric characters were formed by signals from a keyboard. According to an article about the system, "Copy is punched into the computer and then can be called up on the Digivue panel for revising and editing from the keyboard." According to the film some suggested applications would be for use on calculators, cash registers, telephone and computer terminals, information management systems, medical data systems, inventory scheduling, point of sale devices and more. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.

Entirely film backed, this material is available for licensing in 24p HD, 2k and 4k.
