Edirol V4
the brain. six dpdt switches (center off) per channel, 24 bends total. handles preview, luma key, fx, still + strobe, etc. next up: a music-reactive t-bar.

VIP H-11
Video Interface Products. the heart. shape generation and animation, color tools, and soft/hard edges. new t-bar and joystick tops designed in OpenSCAD + 3d printed.

Videonics MX-1
4-input digital mixer with effects. slow and clunky, but useful wipes and fades. video lock 1 stops the projector from flagging.

Panasonic WJ-MX20
wipes, multi modes, scene grabber, chroma color-correct on the joystick. typical fx. clunky, but more immediate than the mx-1.

Ambico V6300
interesting shape generation with transparency, softness, and color controls. still needs a mix slider.

Videonics Processor Plus
added 8 bend points via rca jacks. nice to have live.

Videonics Video Equalizer
b+w, posterize / solarize, negative, and a paintbrush that recolors a chosen hue.

Gieskes 3trinsRGB+1c
rgb synth.

Micca Speck G2
tiny media player. not great, but a convenient input source and lighter than a vcr.

VTech Video Painter
hand drawn elements, tasty glitches.

Sima Video Studio 300
glyphs, titles, color generation.

DIY 10-pin Vidicon camera power + video out
gets power from a 12vdc wall-wart or eurorack +12v. also has an audio output on a 3.5mm jack with attenuation.

Tascam PB-32R
patchbay. 16 rca channels with most inputs and outputs broken out here, so the whole rig is easy to rewire.

7" hdmi / composite / vga monitor (preview)
keeps track of various outputs throughout the chain. usually the V4, MX-1, and WJ-MX20.

Archer 3-channel stereo switch
for switching between preview sources.

Sony LMD-1410 monitor
displays the same output as the projector, but for me.
