»Quantel Paintbox« hat ab Anfang der 1980er Grafik und Animation im Fernsehen digitalisiert und massive Änderungen in der bis dahin üblichen Arbeitsweise gebracht. Und trotz des Preises für Hard- und Software die Herstellungskosten von Animationen im TV vermutlich deutlich gesenkt. In einem Werbevideo von 1983 kann man einen Eindruck gewinnen, was mit der Software möglich war, enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k36Y8IBW-UM #technikgeschichte #techhistory #quantel #paintbox

The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

Print'n'Plotter sold their #graphics software under the same product name #Paintbox like #Quantel, but for #Sinclair #homecomputers. While #colourClash was a serious limitation in the 80s, it's a #8bit #cgi #glitch effect today available in smartphone camera apps.

#Quantel came up 1981 with the #Paintbox DPB-7001. It was the first 68K CPU based #digital-painting, #imagegediting solution that challenged big players like #Scitex #Crossfield #Hell. Next time #Xerox #SuperPaint became important it was in legal defense for #AdobePhotoshop.
