Found this comment with that video,...
... "This is probably 1955 or so. The RCA was not complete, 
and it isn't yet at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center. 
The man demonstrating it is Herbert Belar, one of the inventors of it".

It might make sense, the set looks smaller than the system 
I've seen in most photos. Milton Babbit and Wendy Carlos are 
the more notables who've used it.

This is the RCA Mark II Sound Synthesizer at the Columbia-Princeton
Electronic Music Studio. I have seen the machine there myself. It
still exists but is no longer operable.

Regards,
Mike
