    At the National Center for Experiments in Television (KQED-TV, San Francisco; c. 1972) Lawrence W. Templeton designed and built a flexible video Mixer to replace conventional two-bus switchers, using patch cords and experimental plug-in modules. The Mixer incorporated keyers, colorizers, a color modulator, an edge generator, feedback delay lines, a multi-keyer and six distribution amplifiers, and accepted inputs from two Sony DXC-2000A B/W cameras, a Sony DXC-5000 color camera and a Beck Direct Video Synthesizer. Circuit engineer Richard Stephens built a handheld remote control switcher; control was also demonstrated via Buchla Electric Music Box control voltages.

  • Principles of Electronic Image Processing - Signals Tools

    Technical overview of electronic image processing emphasizing video as a time-dependent medium and defining signal as changes in voltage that encode image information; outlines categories of signals (video, audio, control, synchronizing) and their roles in generation, alteration and control of images. Presents electrical fundamentals including voltage, current, resistance and Ohm's Law, waveform representation and measurement (oscilloscope, waveform monitor), modulation, filtering, analog versus digital structures, and control techniques such as potentiometers and voltage control. Notes Michael Faraday (1822) and Woody Vasulka's vector technique using the Rutt/Etra Scan Processor; cites Johanna Gill, Video: State of the Art 1976.
