Sony UP-2200 Color Video Printer Mavigraph S-Video BNC RCA 120V NTSC
The Sony UP-2200 is a desktop color video frame printer from Sony's Mavigraph line, designed to produce full-color hard-copy prints directly from a composite, S-Video, or BNC video source. It captures a still frame from a live or recorded video signal and outputs a color thermal dye print — no computer required. This unit is NTSC-standard, powered at 120V/120W/60Hz, and was sourced from a large aerospace research lab.

Applications
The Sony UP-2200 Mavigraph is a video frame printer — a category of device that was standard equipment in scientific research, broadcast, medical imaging, and industrial inspection environments from the late 1980s through the 1990s and into the early 2000s. It takes a single video frame and produces a color hard-copy print using a thermal dye-transfer process, making it useful anywhere a permanent visual record of a video image was needed without routing the signal to a computer. Common uses included printing frames from analog video cameras, VCRs, microscope video outputs, ultrasound monitors, oscilloscopes with video outputs, and surveillance or inspection systems. In aerospace and research settings like the lab this unit came from, Mavigraph printers were often used to document camera or sensor footage, test imagery, and instrument displays. Today these printers are sought by collectors of vintage AV and scientific equipment, as well as operators of legacy NTSC analog video systems that still need hard-copy output capability.
This Sony UP-2200 Mavigraph Color Video Printer came to us from a large aerospace research lab. It has not been powered up or tested at our facility, but it was pulled directly from an active research environment where it was previously in use. The unit is in good cosmetic condition overall — the cream-colored housing shows light surface wear typical of lab equipment, and the front panel controls, input selector, and print status indicators all appear intact. The paper tray and output slot are present and undamaged. Please review all photos for a complete look at the current condition, and contact us with any questions.
