I attended the SIGGRAPH conference and exposition in Dallas in 1981, and was startled to see - as many other attendees were - a demonstration by a new company, TRUEVISION, a subsidiary of AT&T, who was demonstrating a novel frame-grabber, known as the TARGA board. Basically, this PC-AT computer compatible printed-circuit board could 'grab' images from a standard TV signal, and by the use of the companion DOS-based Truevision software, could perform amazing post-grab processing on the captured image, such as the many 'now ordinary' manipulations that can easily be done today with a host of readily available and inexpensive Windows-based software running on personal computers. However, in 1981, this was viewed as a 'breakthrough' product. I ordered one, at over $1,000 cost, to use for image-technology experiments and in our WLC shop, and later, after the NCS acquisition of WLC by NCS, we developed TARGA-based electronic slide-show presentations for potential customers to impress them with our nascent image-capture/processing technology. A particularly important demonstration was presented to AVON Corporation, who later became an annual multi-million dollar customer of NCS. I was appointed Program Manager during the implementation phase of this NCS-AVON relationship. This JVM Accession to U of I contains a folder JVM Archival Media disc which includes a photo of the TARGA board, and examples of WLC-NCS images prepared with it, and finally, I offer the Original WLC-NCS TARGA and VISTA boards for the U of I Archives, if interested.
