Latest #retronetworking acquisition: One of the first commercially available #ISDN video telephones (this unit built in 1992, but I think the model is available 2-3 years longer). Apparently the "Telekom Bildtel 001" was built around a LOEWE MultiTel TV10 BTX terminal, plus an AEG/OLYMPIA codec unit and a TV camera.

@zxm @LaF0rge In fact, a bridge to Facetime/Skype/Teams/... would be hilarious.

@1000millimeter @zxm the actual goal is interworking with other (later) isdn video phones such as the T-View 100. It might be that this Bildtel 001 predates the H.320 standard and hence would not Interoperate with any other ISDN video phone model.
