Hi Bob,

The ADO was one of the first component digital devices. 4:1:1. It had a built-in decoder/encoder. Later, that brought those component connections out so you didn't have to feed it composite.

The other 1:1 was made into a 2 and used as the external key input.

Best,
Park

Made the tape editors crazy cause I could zoom farther with the RGB input off the film. If I remember we were able to get almost the full 35mm frame and had to blow up slightly to get to normal framing.
