Abstract

Image Processing Manual (1986). Signal graph leaflets. Information on The Experimental Television Center's Analog Synthesizer. Image Processing Manual contents follow: Theory of Signals, Theory of Sync, Introduction, Setting Up the System, Processing Modules (Voltage Control Amplifiers, Keyers, Colorizers, Special Effects Generator, Jones Frame Buffer, Character Generator). Includes information on the following modules: Jones 8 Input Sequencer, Jones Keyers, Jones Six Channel Colorizer, Paik/Abe Colorizer, Jones Frame Buffer, and the Jones Oscillators. The Analog Control System has detailed explanations of gain, bias, waveshape. Includes Detailed Module Description, Negative Ramp, Positive Ramp, Waveshaper (WS), Inverter X2, Random, One Shot, One Pulse, Gate, Triangle, Analog System: Modules in Box 2, Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), Comparators, Mixers, Voltage Controlled Amplifiers (Dual VCA), Voltage Controlled Eilies (VCE), and Suggested Patches by Richard Brewster (1978), revised (1984).

    Experimental Television Center's Analog Synthesizer is a modular system producing control voltages and synthesized audio; outputs conform to a -5V to +5V standard (10V peak-to-peak) and the unit is compatible with commercial audio synthesis equipment. The studio manual documents two boxes of modules and their controls and jacks — negative and positive ramps, triangle, waveshape shaper, inverter, random, one-shot and pulse, comparators, mixers, dual VCAs, VCFs and a VCO — with operating ranges, VC/gain/bias/Q functions and typical patching techniques. The text includes signal classifications (bias, function, waveshape) and suggested patches for oscillation, gating, sampling, panning and filtering.
