   Who was giving the demo?  I have seen the Panasonic system but, I am
a bit skeptical that it can be used to master a videodisc.  The reason
is that at a conference last summer a Panasonic sales rep claimed their
disc could be used to master a disc.  However, when we asked some of the
mastering houses about this, they said they wouldn't accept the
Panasonic disc.  Panasonic certainly makes a good system; but, I felt
the sales force was making claims which weren't supported in practice.
This may have changed since then.

The Sony LVR-5000 would also be a good candidate for this kind of system 
if the mastering houses can/will accept the discs in lieu of a master tape.
