The Quantel Paintbox is a dedicated computer system for performing real time manipulation of video, and creating graphics.
In the late 1980s Quantel embarked on lawsuits against Adobe Systems "Photoshop" software package and the Spaceward Graphics "Matisse" system in an attempt to protect patented aspects of the Paintbox system.

 SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics Newsletter - SIGGRAPH 98 History Project - August 98
If you know something about Quantel’s Paintbox or read the patents in detail, you’ll observe that Paintbox uses dedicated special purpose hardware while Adobe’s Photoshop is a software package designed to run on a wide range of general-purpose computers.
In this case Quantel argued that because Photoshop performs the same operations described in the patents, the fact that it does so entirely in software is irrelevant.
The first task was to determine whether Photoshop in fact infringed the Quantel patents.

 A history of Quantel
Innovation is one of the key concepts of Quantel Thinking and since Quantel set out to explore the potential of digital technology in television the results of its innovations have often entirely changed working practices and opened new creative avenues.
Since ITN other tapeless newsrooms have been installed all over the world, and Quantel systems remain the only trusted working solution in the world.
All in the same project, interactively and with the best possible quality results.

Complementing the new graphics platform is a new generation of Quantel graphics software.
New technology means that the ‘Quantel Society of Arts’ has become a democracy; now broadcasters can build a complete Quantel graphics environment with every facet perfectly tuned to the varying operational and functional needs of different graphics applications, from journalist templating to close-to-air creative graphics production.
The same tools are available as software on the PC as on the high-end workstation -- this is no pale subset.

 Compositing
Paintbox pioneer Quantel introduced the first dedicated digital compositing system in 1985, with its "Harry" system.
Using multi-processor computer systems in a video environment makes the competition a little more evenly matched, especially when a hardware accelerator board is added to the mix.
Harry allowed the designer the ability to meld images together in real time, using a very intuitive filmstrip metaphor.

 Positively Atlanta Georgia: Video Stratigraphy
Both Quantel and Abekas seemed to be waiting for a digital tape format that they could interface with and pass binary numbers to--and get those numbers back from--perfectly.
Both manufacturers experimented with computer tape-drive backup systems, you know, but they were expensive, cumbersome, and had very little capacity.
It is, in my experience, a clever machine that is cranky, difficult to program even with the newer software, and often frustrating in that it will give you almost what you want--an almost perfect, but noisy sphere.

 Print Centre Spotlights - Photoshop to the max
The company previously insisted on conventional or Paintbox experience for its new recruits, but since Photoshop proved itself a match for the dedicated system, that's beginning to change: "Our next move is to get digital artists in to see what's being done, to re-excite us about it," he says.
"The Paintbox could work in layers, but it couldn't save them, so you had to make a note of where everything was positioned.
With its combination of dedicated hardware and software it was able to offer a level of functionality and performance that met both the quality and productivity demands that Tapestry's clients expected.
