Yep, it was just to convert computer graphics into broadcast TV world. Probably powering a bunch of TV stations weather broadcasts for the next decade.

- dylan604 4y agoThat's still a few rungs up from the older skool tech of a large round table top with the different gauges for things like temp/pressure/humidity/etc on it that rotated at a set speed with a stationary camera mount so that the gauges would spin underneath it. For a lot of small cable companies this was the "weather" for that cable company. It would be setup at the head end where all of the various satellite dishes were pulling the feeds. An ex-coworker's family was responsible for that existing, so I used to hear all sorts of "back in the day" themed stories about it.
