This cooperative effort between the independent video community and a corporate video distributor was intended to test the viability of the home video market.

Fifty VCR owners in the Chicago area agreed to examine and review the tapes. Test viewers then received the programming two hours at a time, in groupings labeled Video Art, Documentary, Entertainment, and Potpourri.
