    Scan processors alter CRT deflection rather than the video waveform; transformed displays are recorded by rescanning the CRT. Nam June Paik, with Hideo Uchida and Shuya Abe, developed raster-manipulation techniques in 1962–64 and exhibited at Galerie Parnass (March 1963); the Experimental Television Center documented his unit with National Endowment for the Arts support in 1978. Bill Etra and Steve Rutt, with Sid Washer and Greg Leopold, prototyped the DC-coupled Rutt/Etra at the WNET TV Lab with New York State Council on the Arts support (1972–73); Lee Harrison III's Computer Image Corporation developed Scanimate and Caesar.
