just had a look at the devices in question.
There is nothing dodgy or sketchy about them at all – they are no different from stuff I worked on 18 years ago other than the equipment cost about €50 000 rather than €500 so was normally only affordable to the film or TV studios. even so they are out of the price range of the average “you want DVD?” man….
There are plenty of legitimate uses for this equipment such as conference halls with multiple video screens; emergency services control rooms; university labs, lecture halls and even the small cinémas where directors view “rushes” (the bit of the movie shot that day) for editing movies – surely WB don’t still edit their film on flatbed Steenbecks (and even those most likely have a scanner with HDMI output nowadays).
FFS this makes you wonder what century these lawyers live in….
