Jon Satrom People

Jon Satrom discovered video while living in Bismarck, ND, a conservative community of around 60,000; he and a friend found the local community access station in the basement of the public library and he became deeply involved. He moved to Chicago and, while attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, witnessed the 'digital video revolution' as video shifted from magnetic tape to digital buffers and grew dissatisfied with one-sided editing programs, prompting him to integrate code writing into his art. He makes artware and net.art, programs microchips and hacks electronic toys to explore hardware languages; website: http://selectall.org

Jones Colorizer - History of the Design Tools

Dave Jones designed the Jones Colorizer at the Experimental Television Center in 1974 and 1975 with funding from the New York State Council on the Arts; the original four‑channel device provided independent RGB controls per channel, used voltage control so video did not pass through knobs, employed diode (layered) mixing, and generated colors internally from three solid R, G and B images rather than using a color encoder. A NYSCA‑funded six‑channel second generation was developed in the early 1980s with expanded keying and input options; copies were kit‑built and sold by Jones’ Designlab, the six‑channel unit remains in daily use at the ETC studio, and Jones has discussed a proposed third‑generation model.

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.
