I Ethan (telmnstr on PhotonLexicon forum) purchased a bulk lot of old tapes
and some encoding/decoding equipment that was used by a company called
Laser Artistry in the late 80s. The system is comprised of 3/4", Beta and
VHS tapes encoded with digital data for X/Y/R/G/B/DIO. The
encoder and decoder hardware was built by Image Engineering, which at the time
was in Boston.

IE still exists but is in different hands (and still making amazing things.)
It is my understanding that the owner/creator of the shows has since passed
away.

I'm turning some of the show data over to the public so the laser hobbyist
community has some content to run on their systems in private, and from a
historical archive of early laser show content which is at high risk of
being lost.

The shows contain copywritten audio, and to play the shows personally
one should purchase all the music contained in the shows. The audio has
suffered degredation due to being stored on analog tape in analog/digital
form for 25 years, and is left in place as it's important for timing the
replacement with purchased copy.

I have posted videos on youtube under my channel (telmnstr) of some effort
to reverse engineer the protocols used in the Image Engineering decoder.

Any questions or comments email me at telmnstr followed by at
symbol then 757.org.
