Err, I don't think that they ever made a video capture device. I seem to
remeber that at one time they made film scanners, but that was a long,
long time ago. Remeber, pixar was originally the hardware arm of the of
lucas film empire, and lucas works in film, not video (well, until now
that is).
I think that this machine is more likely a Pixar Image Computer, which to
my recollection doesn't do video capture, but I'd don't know that for
sure.
