Need help to ID strange Sony device

[Skywalker[TSG]]

Does anyone know what this device is ? And what it does?

All I know is that it's part of a set called TriniCom® 5100.

Yep thats the one.

But thats the whole set , would this device work on it's own using a monitor or the video outputs.

Or is it worthless without the rest of the trinicom set ?

Probably..looks pretty specific to me.

Why don't you google it and read up on the system specs?

Google = "TriniCom 5100" (search terms)

Still not sure if it works without the rest of the kit.
