  • Doctor Plague shows how he designed a sync separator circuit, but he doesn't stop there. He also attempts to demonstrate his circuit by turning an old analog oscilloscope into a CRT video display. Will he succeed?
    See if you can find J.S. Bach before the end of the video! Be sure to watch to the end to see if you were correct!

    ERRATA: When breadboarding the Positive Clamper circuit, the supertitle mentioned "1Meg resistor" - this should've been "10Meg resistor".

    The DVD player uses a current-mode DAC to output the video signal. Very clever design, as it will guarantee a clear video signal at the TV's input, no matter what the cable's impedance is !

    I'm re-viewing this series, what a fun! But it leads to a question: can you make a just as nice and clear video on HDMI signals?

    Thanks Dr Plague.
    I’m not really interested in composite video, but I learn a lot with the circuit designs that make it works.
    Very cool ideia to use the scope as a CRT screen using X/Y and L inputs.
    Please continue making this kind a videos, this analog circuits are nice, not like the new rubbish digital things. 😅

    Found your channel from someone's recommendation-comment on Big Clive channel. Love this video, thanks. I'm a digital engineer. Maybe if I watch enough of your videos I won't have to keep asking analogue engineers noob questions :-)

    I only watched composite video series yet, and they were phenomenal! Simplicity ant depth combined - this is true teaching! How did you became so good? Are you a professor in an university? Can I use this circuit to take a composite video signal from older raspberry pi models? To continue these series: how to make composite video signal by using AVR micro controller? How about other types of video signals: s-video, RGBSync? How to make amateur HAM TV station? And to conclude reversed video bread board assembly is pure magic. I am off to binge watch the rest of your channel and subscribed to future content.

    25:20 Doctor you could use a Constant Current Source on the capacitor. Ha, I see you added the circuit later and it does impove the image!

      I do plan on making future videos in which I develop some video circuits. I just have some other videos that I'm working on first - they will end up tying in. There is an order to this madness! Thank you!

    Very impressive! I have been breadboarding simple designs of my own since the 70s and have designed many circuits. Showing this math was a must have. I have a question about HDMI to A/V conversion. Do you know of a chip that was designed for this purpose? Currently I am using a video capture card, ffprobe and ffmpeg to detect "Loss of Video" and "Loss of Audio" using software (Raspberry PI, Python). I would like to be able to convert HDMI to analog video & audio. I can then use the luminance filter in this video to detect a black screen by giving the last op amp a little amplification and a diode to convert to DC. The result would be 0VDC when black screen and 1.2VDC when video is present. I just need to figure out how to convert the digital video and audio from an HDMI plug to analog. Can you point me to either an existing chip or preferably a method using old through hole ICs from the 70s - 90s that are more readily available? Would this require a microprocessor?

      I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with such an IC to convert HDMI to analog. I would think such an IC would exist, but I'm just not familiar with any. Maybe another viewer can chime in if anyone knows of one. Thanks for watching!

    • @devicemodder

      look up the mini series of converters. they have one that does HDMI to AV.
