Please note: The VidPix is available in PAL format upon request.

The VidPix makes all your 8bit video dreams come true! It uses incoming audio to change the video patterns onscreen. It's in the vein of Atari Video Music, but with heavily upgraded hardware and software.

Program your own code! For code updates, programming instructions and more, please visit our Github page.

Controls/Features:

Sensitivity

This adjusts the pixel size and the pattern rate change. It changes the reference voltage used by the analog to digital convertor, increasing or decreasing the signal that reaches the parallax chip.

Auto/Manual Mode Switch
In Automatic mode, the patterns and colors change randomly. In Manual mode, color and pattern change with their respective gate or button, and rotate through in order. For 8-bit Nostalgia, the colors will always be the same relative to the pattern.

Color and Pattern Jacks/Buttons

Changes the color or pattern with an incoming gate; in the console version, it also changes by pressing a button. To change the color or pattern, the gate must be high for at least 0.1 second. While the gate is high, the graphics pause. When the gate is low, the pattern or color changes.

Trigger/gate input voltage: 1.65V to 15V

If both gates are high for >2 seconds, the packet selection menu is brought up. The Pattern jack/button scrolls through the options. The Color jack/button selects the option.Then the glitch menu is then brought up. Once the options are chosen, the patterns start.

RCA
Video RCA output. Choose NTSC or PAL. The VidPix comes in NTSC format unless requested otherwise.

Eurorack module depth: 42mm

Power

Eurorack current draw: 47mA on +12V

Console: uses 5V mini USB jack
