    While working for the Experimental Television Center the author and David built the first four Jones Frame Buffers; the pictured unit is the author's and may be the only one remaining in the original card rack after David rewired most into newer, larger boxes. The unit adds second-level control and 2v differential video inputs and output with a plexiglass panel; it was initially controlled by a Sinclair ZX81 with programs saved to audio tape and later adapted for control from an Amiga 1000. The buffer includes an internal keyer, four memory boards providing 64 frames and a pseudo-color option; Amiga Basic routines were compiled to C but required unbuilt libraries for blank switching, producing noisy routines.

    The Jones Buffer is a black-and-white image buffer that operates standalone or under Z-80 computer control; front-panel controls allow real-time digitization, single-page grab/store and a keyer-like selective storage between live and stored signals. Memory totals 128,000 bytes (256×256 resolution yields 16 pages) and the buffer outputs a digital signal converted to analog; video I/O is routed via a matrix with two inputs (video and clip) and one output. In stand-alone mode it supports software such as STROBE64 and TESPNEW and can be routed with the CAT buffer; in computer mode it requires buffer-specific programs (e.g., NEWGRAB) and occupies the Z80 and D+7A, preventing CAT use.
