Video Bending

[heavymetalme]

It's been awhile since I've posted here, and even longer since I've really been working on anything E.A. related, but upon setting up a new project, I've decided to get back to the grind, and try to get more support on this forum for video bending.

I recall the first time I was exposed to video bending- I was surfing eBay for noise boxes (really just looking at the pictures for what box had the most knobs on it [you know we all do it]), when I saw this picture...



I was intrigued, and extremely impressed by the video that accompanied the description on the eBay page. If I recall correctly, it ended up selling for well over $200, if not more.

Later I found Karl's site, who I then recognized as the creator of the creation pictured above. If you haven't seen this site yet- whether you practice video bending or not- check it out. It's pretty neat what Karl has created.

He's actually posted here before, but I didn't see too much in regards to responses, so hopefully more people can get interested after this post.

So, here I am now posting here, wondering if anyone has any basic stuff they've made? I've put together a couple of Karl's "dirty mixers," (found here... http://www.karlklomp.nl/pro/dirtmx/dvmschema.jpg) and bent a couple of those old RadioShack brand "Archer" video enhancers... Anyone else have anything to share?









And here's a video of the Archer unit...

Hopefully there's more people here interested in this kind of stuff! I'd love to find some more simple things to build like the Dirty Mixer, as my electronics knowledge is still quite minimal!

really old but... here you have someone interested on these video stuff!!

I haven't logged into this place in awhile. I need to get back into the game.

I haven't been up to any video stuff myself. I would like to ask if anyone knows anyone whose been doing any Arduino based video stuff, though. That's the direction I've been exploring with music, but I haven't looked into any video stuff yet.

nop

all analog over here

I put together the dirty mixer a couple of weeks ago

I'm now trying to make another video circuits

have you tried to do some other Klomps stuff?

Hey hey, I've got the video bug too. No builds as of yet, still sorting out the arcane while trying to cobble relics together. Hopefully I'll have some content to share one of these months.

Introducing a from scratch build imperfect device that will kill your video signal. As good as it looks as bad it will react. No, its actually working pretty fine. The hardest part is to keep the signal clean. These chips (AD8072) are basic dual video opamp that are normally used in vcr's to amp or filter a video signal. Its very easy to create a working circuit but when you start bending around you'll notice the lack of stability very quickly.....
