Since we're sharing video production war stories, I did the analog
hardware design and PCB layout for an Amiga product called the Video
Toaster back in the day (late 1980's).  A very much younger version of
me is also the guy in a lab coat pulling out his hair in the Revolution
promo video (skip to 2:55):

Gene: I love all of your stories from the video trenches...now just
imaging having to do all that with PAL and their wacky 25 Hz sub-carrier
offset.  It still makes my head hurt thinking about it.

I still do video hardware design, but these days it's mostly in FPGA
hardware, shoveling digital data across a PCIe bus.  Not like the old
days of matched cable lengths for genlocking a studio!
