VISIBLE SIGNALS

By the time I had spent many idle hours reading, learning and absorbing all the information I could about video, I was fascinated and hooked. My early experiments were around trying to convert from and to composite video, extracting the sync information needed to do that, and performing simple signal manipulations and pattern generation. So the LM1881, TDA3330, MC13077 and 4040 ICs were all my good friends in those days. As well as numerous random web pages there were two particularly helpful sources of information and community for video synthesis: the video forums on electro-music.com and Muffwiggler. Of course by then I knew about LZX Industries, by far and away the biggest player in the contemporary video synthesis electronics scene. Unfortunately their modules were pricey… and I was a DIY guy! But then I read this thread talking about LZX's newly released Cadet range of modules and my first thought was - hey, I could build that myself, on veroboard! And so I did, making a few..
