Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
Sounds like Andrew from the Parlogram Youtube Chanel.
Is this AI generated? It jumps all over the place a bit?
Also is that how you pronounce UNITY - you-n-eye-tee
If it is, I’ve been saying it wrong all this time 
UPDATE:, just read that it isnt AI, but is read by a robot.

What’s the difference?
I noticed it sounded AI, yes speaking robots use AI techniques… the cheesy background lift music seems an anathema for Naim audio. Gave up after a few minutes … some of the technical text is a bit dubious in places.
However I didn’t realise Vereker started with a sound to light system . I remember making one when I was an early teen… it caused all sorts of RFI but worked… I designed it using marketing diagrams… first lesson in engineering is quite different from simplified marketing white papers…
It would be nice to read the text used in the video, rather than have to listen to it….
The text was put together by a human, but read by a Robot
This appeared in my YouTube feed late last night, so I was quite tired when watching it all the way through.
The problems I recall having with it were →
It confusingly jumps around the naim product timeline.
The voiceover (very badly AI spoken - it might be a language translation) doesn’t always match the era range on the screen and includes pronunciation errors.
I think a fair portion of the content stated as fact is inaccurate.
Despite using some images I haven’t seen before, the editing, flow and general quality is very poor and gives an extremely rough view of the history of the company.
I wonder what @Richard.Dane makes of this?
I gave up watching after a few minutes.

Didn’t even bother …
Dreadful slop. What a waste of resources.
Must have been a lot of it going about. My 6th form Electronics course project in the 1970’s was a 3 channel sound to light system - i seem to recall based on a design in Everyday Electronics magazine (A monthly magazine, paid for by my father, that i started getting in 1970 instead of a weekly Whizzer & Chips comic!).
The sound to light box performed at many parties for the following ten years!

Everyday Electronics - takes me back. IT was the electronics comic at the time, where as Practical Electronics had more gravitas 
Yes my sound to light was used in one party - though we got complaints it was causing interference on television and radio …

A robot does what it’s told but the AI thinks we are all idiots.

That’s a great definition! 
I had an ego boost as a lot off the kit I used to own, otherwise “no thanks”.
Looks like an institutional short. Guys are proposing their skills…
So did I Richard. It was rubbish. Poorly written, with a disjointed narrative, terrible cheesy background “music” and an irritating robot voiceover.
I watched all the way to the end. Surprised to discover that only the voice was AI-generated. The whole video felt like the result of typing “Make me a video about the history of Naim Audio” at the ChatGPT prompt.
