Well, it's hardly me that's doing it, but Interactive MicroSystems sells
something they call the MediaPhile(TM) system.  Its basically an Amiga with
a camcorder/video deck hooked up to it through a custom interface that allows
control of the equipment.  The flyers that I have list support for a variet
of Sony video equipment as well as video database software for things like
real-estate databases.  Here's the address to enquire for more information:
