Quentin Stafford-Fraser@lanodan @vga256 I’m pretty sure it was a video camera, in the sense that it produced a rastered output suitable for feeding to a CRT monitor or camcorder or whatever. So a framegrabber card in the computer read that signal through a fast A-to-D converter and captured a frame of video into its RAM, which could then be read out. My memory is that digital *stills* cameras didn’t, in general, come until a few years later.
