about

it's a simple little box. no input, just output. designed to send an accurate signal to synchronize hardware, play decks, and cameras. as if everything had a watch and made sure the second hand ticked past the exact same mark at the exact same time. time, after all, is what everything is tied to.

if you want to switch from one camera to the next seamlessly, you would need it. you don't want to disrupt the feed. when you watch a movie, you shouldn't be aware of electricity, the vcr, or the television. a brief interruption in anything will make you aware of all of these things. you are trying to avoid dropout. a black burst generator is a video signal with no picture. interestingly, you are attempting to avoid exactly what it is supplying. nothing. it is just black.

despite everything, to truly experience this release you do not need a vhs tape, vcr, or television. you can just close your eyes and listen.
