Construction of a Raster Manipulation Unit - Revision by Jason Bernagozzi at Signal Culture, 2016 Tools
Construction of a Raster Manipulation Unit — Revision by Jason Bernagozzi (2016) is a revised documentation developed in part from the Experimental Television Center's original 1980 document by Sherry Miller Hocking, Walter Wright, Richard Brewster and Dave Jones; the original aimed to preserve methods of building the tool as conceived by Nam June Paik and Shuya Abe and the concepts behind its operation and functions. Bernagozzi's revision is based on that original and is supplemented by new research by Bernagozzi, Signal Culture and Dave Jones; the new documentation is presented not as a replacement but as a reinvestigation using modern concepts and methods.

Raster Manipulation Unit: Operation and Construction Tools
Raster Manipulation Unit: Operation and Construction (1980) documents a prepared-television modification that adds extra yokes to a conventional black-and-white CRT and drives them with audio or function generators; the technique permits raster reversal, raster collapse to a line or point, S-curve distortions and other deformations, and uses optical rescanning to record the effects. System configuration lists a modified receiver/monitor with raster reversal and collapse functions, one stereo and one mono amplifier and three audio generators; added yokes include a color yoke and a continuous-wind (S-curve) yoke. Signal examples include sine, square and triangle waveforms, Lissajous patterns and frequency guidelines; Nam June Paik is cited as having popularized the modifications.
