Brand said he’s now finding all sorts of uses around the University for the
Turbo iDDR. He’s considering using it to display player headshots on the
large JumboTron™ Screen at OSU’s main football stadium during Saturday
games. Previously, they recorded digital still files of player photos onto
videotape, then dumped them into another machine before being displayed.
With the Turbo iDDR, the files can be loaded onto the server as is, saving a
lot of time and effort.

videotape in the process. As each new group of students and parents
