I notice Rob you have perhaps a list of the switch functions of your  
Dubner
below the middle keypad.  As I recall, and this could have been  
specific to
the configuration at Action Video Hollywood where I worked, #2 was  
negative
(off was positive); #3.... hm, I forget..  but I think #7 was freeze;  
Dave
Tosh do you remember, or Bob Festa, Terry Goins?  Top left of screen  
is raw
frame count; top right fps/Hz; just left of READ/WRITE flag are the  
X,Y,Z
flags; PAN L means linear pan (N was nonlinear); does it appear in  
the photo
that corrections for events 0 and 1440 were not saved, as there is a  
dash
instead of a "C" at right of their entries?  It appears switches 2,3  
and 4
are engaged; can you advise Rob what the row of dashes to the right  
of SW
mean (SoftWare version? or is that where another mode of the "Switches"
is shown.)?  READ/WRITE mode are obvious functions of the software if  
you
know how a Dubner works; ModRead came along later, engaged by "Shift
Read/Write" and there was either a ModWrite or ModPreview mode as  
well, the
differences not standing the test of memory at the moment.

We always called it the Dubner, but as H. Dubner and his company were  
perhaps
better-known for their character generator, what was the official  
name of the
color corrector?   thanks in advance.
