I’m seriously impressed at how much effort was put into developing aesthetically interesting ITTS screens for so many DCC releases. Some of them are genuinely good examples of artistic expression within a limited medium, and it’s a shame they were never seen by consumers despite being there the whole time. Seems likely that a machine capable of ITTS output was in the pipeline, perhaps even on the verge of going into production, but was canned due to soft sales of the DCC format. If DCC had come out a few years earlier, perhaps, it might have been more popular as it was quite capable, even though it was always destined to be a transitional medium.

I didn't watch the video yet, just skimmed, but those screens look similar to what a karaoke machine of the era would have displayed. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the idea or if some of that art is directly lifted from those releases.

I got teletext (system for transmitting data/subtitles alongside a TV signal) vibes from it. I wonder how it's encoded, since it seems to come out with the digital audio stream regardless of what's playing it.
