well, talking about video here, i find that incredibly hard to believe... how could the video sensors pick up a signal too powerful for them to handle without damage from a tv screen? it's nothing like pointing it at the sun... i mean, even at it's brightest possible, a fully white tv screen is not going to hurt a video camera just from pointing it at it... this really is a pretty different situation from feeding back audio through an amp, and even those can handle quite lot and have limits.
OK! The starting effect is due to subtle use of the zoom control - zooming out shrinks the image. Zoom back in and it grows. Even focussing will have some effect on the magnification.
The camera is from 1980 and is a 3 tube analogue studio / o.b. camera. with big old t.v. to complete the circuit. Extra fun with vision mixer in the circuit!
Well done!

An audio and feedback loop is hard on a camera's internal electronics.

This is distinctly mandalic. Loop this for 20 minutes and it's serious meditation if you're paying attention.

Could you explain how you achieved the starting effect and what camcorder you used?
I tend to have great success using more primitive CCD sensors or vidicon/Havicon tubes to achieve certain effects.

Nice feedback my friend. Glad to see that it is alive and well. I too have some examples of this. I used to use it all the time in my instalations.
Cheers
