* Note that the picture is recent but the equipment is form 70s / 80s

The last paragraph translated with DeepL:

In the picture is the archive recorder, with the following equipment (from left to right): in the corner an AMPEX VPR2 1-inch player, then a SONY BVH 2000 PS, in the rack a SONY BVW 55 Beta SP, below it a Digi Beta version, on top of the monitor on the right the smallest but newest piece is the SONY PDW 1500 recorder, and the row is completed by another 1-inch player, the SONY BVH 3100 PS. On the table in the middle are the controls and editing tools for the 1-inch machines.

Found on the Aesthetics Wiki's page for Cassette Futurism and identified as Hungarian TV technology through "Cassette Futurism": salvare gli anni Ottanta dai fanboy nostalgici 1/3 (Italian).

The LCD monitor really threw me for a few seconds before realising this wasn’t a photo from the 70s / 80s.

Interesting seeing the Windows 7 logo in the mix. Must've been some hardware added later like the LCD screen. Or maybe it's a joke sticker, little hard to tell
