  3. Direct Video: Electronic Artform for Color Television Tools

    In 1970 Stephen Beck received a grant to develop the Direct Video Synthesizer for the National Center for Experiments in Television at KQED-TV in San Francisco. He designed and built the synthesizer with support from the National Endowment for the Arts; the prototype comprises circuit and control modules that operate with the scanned video raster, accept sync and drive pulses, and output parallel RGBY for NTSC color. Beck outlines an aesthetic model of form, motion, texture and color and a technical mapping using pulse-width modulation, waveshaping and RGB distribution.
