Err, I don't think that they ever made a video capture device.  I seem to 
remeber that at one time they made film scanners, but that was a long, 
long time ago.    Remeber, pixar was originally the hardware arm of the of 
lucas film empire, and lucas works in film, not video (well, until now 
that is).

I think that this machine is more likely a Pixar Image Computer, which to 
my recollection doesn't do video capture, but I'd don't know that for 
sure.
