[sdiy] Video synthesis

[Jean Bender]

Hi !!
Thanks a lot for your answer ! We are actually using an oscilloscope
for playing around geometric shapes ! And that's work pretty well, i
must say !
But after a lot of searches, except some sub forums on electro music &
muffwigglers, there's not so much informations about video synthesis..
There are some great synths made in the 70s, the EMS Spectre & the
Sandin Ip, nowadays we can find the LzX products, but not so much
stuff in a diy manner..
I know, for exemple, that i could hack a vga cable in order to get a
sync, but.. i don't want to use a computer, and i'm more interested in
composites signals..

And my main goal actually, is to understand, how, electronically, a
sync works, and how it should be melt to a video signal..

Cheers !
