The riddle - on a Tektronix 453 oscilloscope (re-captured)

Just a little video I've made where I have built a circuit to make an oscilloscope act like a TV screen to display images.... and this video suited it perfectly.
I have recaptured the video from my camcorder getting both odd and even fields of the frame and it looks way better than before.

I can assure you, it's not a fake. See my other video showing the whole setup. Yes, it might be possible to chroma-key the scope screen, but Ive tried chroma keying and where I filemd that, the light levels were soo poor, chroma keying would not have worked at all well.

Gigi D'Agostino - The Riddle

Brillant!

nice.

@mrbear912 personally i wouldn't vector graphics this, because then you have to render those vectors back to frames on the microcontroller which takes time.

Awesome!

Whats that song from? Very neat.

[mrbear912]

May I ask how you took the data from the music video and transformed it into something that your chip could read? The only way I can comprehend doing this would be running each frame through a program capable of vectorizing bitmaps (such as Inkscape), and then writing some software to send the SVG'd frames to your microcontroller in a usable format... Am I even close?

it looks like a Fallout 3 screen :D

Nice! Can you post the played sound (on the oscilloscope) as a download?

@NE5Freak you know, i was thinking of hacking up some bncs, thanks! (or for us americans, coax cables)

[NE5Freak]

@spadehatesscrewtube They are like $6 on ebay or dealextreme shipping included. For less precise testing you could however just connect 2 wires to a BNC connector.
