Currently Playing: Silicon Graphics: MooseCam & the O2’s Forgotten A/V Capabilities

Join me as I dive into the SGI MooseCam (O2Cam), the unique camera designed for the Silicon Graphics O2 workstation. After a long search, I finally got my hands on one—only to discover it requires a special Audio/Visual module to work! In this video, I install the module, test the camera, and push the O2's multimedia capabilities further by capturing and exporting VHS footage. Did the O2 truly deliver pro-grade video features in the mid-98s? And can I successfully record back to VHS?
