»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

@retroist For #retrocomputing nerds, this also looks like it was done on some #quantel #paintbox hardware. It's got that Cars "You Might Think" music video vibe.

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.

Our #vector #graphic #illustration of this legendary #retrocomputer is a form of #digital #lithography. #IT's made in #svg tech and created with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai

#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.

However, the #vector #graphic #illustration of the #legendary #DPB7001 #retrocomputing #hardware and #GUI are made with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai #CC

Spent most of today testing and cataloguing these #Quantel CPU cards. These were used in the Quantel Paintbox, HAL, Editbox and Henry from the 1990s. They each have a 68040 @ 33mhz, 64mb RAM, DMA, Inmos Transputer link and much more. The open machine here is a Quantel Paintbox Express i was using as a test platform.

The full Quantel Paintbox art stream recorded this Sunday is now live! If you wanted to see a Paintbox being used live for illustration work, here's a good opportunity.
