Rob,
That’s probably a J-Video board, a prototype built by DEC SRC for the J300
series of video and audio adapters. You can find more information in Digital
Technical Journal, Volume 7, Number 4. Around that time, mid-1994, I was
working on the software for a PC ISA board which would inter-operate with
J-Video to provide network-based desktop video conferencing (see DTJ Volume 5,
Number 2). After 2 groups that were working on this were shutdown within a
month of each other, I decided it was time to leave the company. I don’t know
if any further development occurred.
John.
