I have one of the original LaserDisk players used for the Domesday project - it's a rebadged Philips unit with a SCSI port on it. It also had GenLock type features; when used with the BBC Master menu's etc would appear over the stills and video.
I also have one of the LD's from the set. I don't have a BBC Master or the software to use it properly, but if you play the disk as though it were a normal LD you get lots of stills of allsorts of stuff flashing on the screen at 25fps. Very strange experience indeed!
