Dave Jones Colorizer in Experimental Television Center Studio System Manual Tools

David Jones designed and built the Jones Six Channel Colorizer for the Residency Program at the Experimental Television Center; the device was developed in 1974 and 1975 and funded by a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts. The multi-functional image-processing unit accepts up to six black-and-white video signals and assigns independent hue and intensity per channel; controls include gain, pedestal, polarity, saturation, clip level, keying with any channel selectable as clip source, hard/soft edge control and additive or diode mixing, and most parameters are voltage-controllable including high-frequency control voltages.

Experimental Television Center Studio System Manual - Keying Tools

Two manual sections from the Experimental Television Center Studio Manual: Keying Process by Matthew Schlanger (c. 1984) and Keyers by Sherry Miller Hocking and Richard Brewster with Peer Bode, Hank Rudolph and Matt Schlanger; both appear in the 1980 and 1986 studio manuals. The text defines keying as mixing two video signals under control of a clip reference, explains synchronization of vidicon tubes/CRTs across 525-line frames and 262.5-line fields and notes a horizontal line frequency of 15,750 Hz. It describes three-input luminance keyers with VCA channels A and B, clip-level thresholds, internal versus external keying, and wipes using an externally synced oscillator.

Jones Frame Buffer in Experimental Television Center Studio System Manual Tools

The Jones Buffer is a black-and-white image buffer that operates standalone or under Z-80 computer control; front-panel controls allow real-time digitization, single-page grab/store and a keyer-like selective storage between live and stored signals. Memory totals 128,000 bytes (256×256 resolution yields 16 pages) and the buffer outputs a digital signal converted to analog; video I/O is routed via a matrix with two inputs (video and clip) and one output. In stand-alone mode it supports software such as STROBE64 and TESPNEW and can be routed with the CAT buffer; in computer mode it requires buffer-specific programs (e.g., NEWGRAB) and occupies the Z80 and D+7A, preventing CAT use.

Jones Keyer in Experimental Television Center Studio System Manual Tools

Richard Brewster, c.1976, documents Jones Keyers as hard-edge luminance keyers in the Sequencer case, describing I and II with two VCA channels, a clip channel, and voltage-controllable parameters accepting ±5 V signals. The manual includes step-by-step operating instructions. Keyer III is a hand-wired prototype with VC jacks for Ch. A and C; Keyers IV and V are three-input VC keyers that use Ch. C as the clip input, employ a BAL control in place of separate pedestals, and have manual-only On/Off and Normal/Reverse controls.

Jones Sequencer in Experimental Television Center Studio System Manual Tools

Technical documentation for the Jones 8 Input Sequencer, an eight-input, one-output voltage-controllable switcher that operates in sequence, binary (three-bit) and manual modes; it can process video signals or ±5 V control/audio/shape signals via front-panel mini-jacks. The entry details front-panel controls and indicators (including pushbuttons, pedestals and switches), sequence/count and sync inputs, sync modes for below and above 60 Hz (including a 60-sync option), interaction with external oscillators and the Analog Control and Image Processing systems, and use of sample-and-hold modules for vertical interval switching.

Paik/Abe Colorizer - Experimental Television Center Studio System Manual Tools

The Paik/Abe Colorizer is a manual video mixer combining up to seven video signals into the three inputs of a color encoder and routing the output through an amplifier; channel controls include gain pots, on/off switches, color selectors and pan pots. Selector positions include Red, Green, Blue, R-G, R-B and G-B; the unit performs additive mixing, is sensitive to input gain (producing key-like or negative effects), has no built-in voltage control inputs (external video VCAs and voltage-controlled processors can be used). Photographs by Evangelos Dousmanis and Pamela Hawkins document Charlotte Moorman, Shuya Abe (1971), an early Paik/Abe Colorizer and Nam June Paik at Bonino Gallery.

Some Thoughts on Learning by Reading the Tools: Embodying the Time Image Bibliography

Peer Bode of the Institute for Electronic Arts at Alfred University (Alfred, New York) outlines contemporary media terms — and, next, time-based media, metonymy and next bodies — and situates them historically from Paleolithic cave performative spaces to present digital culture. He describes the IEA's activities (artist residencies, Smart Wall exhibitions, conferences, publishing), cites international media centers (ZKM, Ars Electronica, IRCAM, ISEA, Experimental Television Center, Harvest Works, Sigraph) and references the Whitney Image World exhibition (late 1980s) and Nam June Paik's 2000 Guggenheim retrospective curated by John Hanhardt.

Special Effects Generator - excerpt from the Experimental Television Center Studio System Manual Tools

Excerpt from the Experimental Television Center Studio System Manual describing the Panasonic Special Effects Generator (SEG), a multi-input processor that combines two inputs via mixing, wiping, internal and external keying. The manual documents routing and controls: three main inputs plus an external key at the matrix split to buses A, B and preview; transitions Mix, Wipe, Int and Ext; bar, SUP and Cut functions; inputs 5, 6 and 4 assigned to color bars, black and genlock; outputs to the matrix and patch panel and uses including sending color bars to monitors/VTR, using a color monitor as preview, bypassing the Jones output amp.

UBER ORGAN ( body of life ) Bibliography

Peer Bode's UBER ORGAN (body of life) is a 30-minute video (2003) assembling interviews, archival sound and notebook material documenting Harald Bode (1909–1986) and his electronic instruments. Sources include a 1948 Melodium recording for North German Radio (Hamburg), 1972 b+w 1/2" portapack interviews by Ralf D. Bode and Lenore Bode, and digitized excerpts of Harald Bode's notebooks (1937–1977) processed at the Experimental Television Center (Owego, NY); nonlinear editing/performance occurred in 2002 at the Institute for Electronic Arts (Alfred, NY) and PEP Studios (Rochester, NY). The work employs a hand-built digital video frame buffer (FB-1) designed by David Jones and features collaborators including David Jones, Andrew Deutsch, Steina Vasulka, Pauline Oliveros and Ralph Hocking; the E.T.C. and I.E.A. receive partial support from the New York State Council on the Arts.
