"... Before the Internet, questions about how to unleash the possibilities of new technology promising high definition images and/or multi-channel delivery, and about how to use the medium to innovate and bring new voices and new audiences to public television were asked — and answered spectacularly by the TV lab. The TV LAB was an earlier "digital revolution," though few called it that; it stirred innovation in public television because television engineers and artists invented synthesizers to manipulate the video signal and used the new digital time- base correcters to put portable small format video on the air. This first digital revolution nurtured video art, created reality television made with half-inch portable video equipment, and offered fresh local and global perspectives from new voices, whose influences are still felt."
