In the early 1980s, the Analogic Corporation developed " The APL Machine ", which was an array processing computer designed to be programmed only in APL . There were actually three processing units, the user's workstation, an IBM PC, where programs were entered and edited, a Motorola 68000 processor that ran the APL interpreter, and the Analogic array processor that executed the primitives.

The first seven MaxVideo boards were Digimax ( digitizer and display ), Framestore ( triple 512 ^ 2 framestore with unprecedented density ), VFIR ( first real-time 3x3 image filter, SNAP ( 3x3 Systolic Neighborhood Array Processor ), Featuremax ( real-time statistics ) SP ( single point general purpose processor ) and Protomax ( MaxVideo prototyping board ) . 10 beta customers were lined up to receive the first 7 boards.
