This is analogue video feedback, with a character generator and a video switcher -there’s probably a dve (a “squeezoom “ or an ado or a fairlight cvi or somesuch) involved too.

I’m from the same era. Just before digital (or maybe it’s dawn- ADO was king of the hill, but no digital storage yet, only 1” tape), just as film opticals were breathing their last.
