No, the gadget I made was specifically for animation, ie. 
adding one
frame at a time to a tape by a punch-in edit.  So, all you 
needed
was a source of NTSC video and one editing recorder.  We used
it with a computer frame buffer with RGB output and a Lenco
color encoder.  One of my customers used it with a Tektronix
color graphics system and a camera pointed at the screen, and
used the M-series VCRs, which were amazing.

Eventually another local customer had a frame buffer that 
would hold
several seconds of frames, and wanted to punch-in the whole
sequence at one time.  Our device would do that, but the 
computer
needed to know when the recording actually started, so I added a
feature to send a message back to the commanding computer
telling it when that happened.  When that computer got the
message, it started the frame buffer playing the sequence.
