VIDEO MESS TOOL

Todd Michael Bailey of excellent DIY bendable sampler kit (Where's the Party At?) fame has been messing around with video !!! his Video Mess Tool and other prototypes are the first steps in to some video kits he will be releasing in the future. I for one am very exited

My 4 Transistor Video Synth

Heres is a little 4 transistor circuit kludged together from spare components and a 70s hobby magazine article it plugs straight in to the arial socket of you old unused TVs I'm thinking of trying to track down the original author of the article to ask him if I can release it as a kit! sorry there's no sound on the vid but my mixer is broken.

PM Pitch Analyzer by Voice Identification INC

found this super cool thing listed being sold via this auction a while back looks like some kind of lab/analytical equipment but it has a BNC video output!

"Up for auction is a very intriguing PM Pitch Analyzer from VII Voice Identification, Inc. We are not sure of everything it does, but our simple experiments with a monitor allow us to get a wide variety of readings from an external audio source. Great for a new circuit bending project! There are buttons for sample rate, smooth, shift, freq scale, amp ref., load program and more. Some of the input/outputs include Mic, Line, BNC Video, printer remote. There is also a sort of pen that looks like it can be used to change the video gain, height, right edge, horiz synch, gain/balance. Some of the chips inside include: AMD 8520DPP NEC D8085AHC, D8085AHC-2, -5 Intel 82716-1"
