MVIP Mini Video Image Processor

Coming in December 2010 from Dave Jones Design is the MVIP Mini Video Image Processor.

This Euro rack module is not part of the larger video synth system that I am designing for Euro rack. This is a stand alone video processing module. It mounts in a Euro rack and is compatible with Doepfer and other Euro audio modules. This module has a single composite video input and output. It works in NTSC or PAL, and auto-detects whichever you plug into it.

Unlike the larger video synth system that I am designing, this module does not require any other video modules to work. The larger video synth system will require video input, sync and output modules, plus whatever video processing modules that you want. The MVIP doesn't require any of those. It works by itself. On the other hand it also only processes a single video input and doesn't combine multiple video signals like the larger system.

You can see a very simple demo of the MVIP on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPXCnTyDXFA

(be aware that the YouTube video is very blurry compared to the original)

That demo doesn't use the control voltage inputs. It simply shows the changes made when turning the manual control knobs. I added titles to the video to show which knobs are being turned.

Full specs and prices will be posted by Thanksgiving, and modules will be available by Christmas.
