What better way to Celebrate Sir David Attenboroughs 100th Birthday, than with some #LaserDisc Goodness
Here is a brief glimpse of the phenomenal BBC British Garden Birds LaserVision Disc, 1982
It really is remarkable & absolutely
groundbreaking at the time
It’s all there
Teletext
Dual Audio Channels
CAV - Active Play, Frame by Frame
Subtitles
It still holds up today

@avavsystems@mastodon.world @obsoletemediauk@mastodon.world I wish my main TV could still handle Teletext. My slightly older Panasonic 4K TV can still display Teletext when I played a compatible LD through it.

@avavsystems@mastodon.world they managed to fit ceefax in a laserdisc? and you can control it yourself? damn that's kinda revolutionary (at least for the time)
