Making an STM32G431 analogue TV transmitter

Kris Slyka has a bit of an obsession with vintage analogue video cameras.

A few weeks ago I felt like it was finally time to take the next step and get myself one of those “televisions” I had heard so much about. Stop feeding those pristine analogue signals into a digital capture card and instead enjoy them fully analogue, end to end, crt to crt.

Turns out that one of the reasons this TV was so cheap was because it doesn’t have any video input besides an antenna. And it’s black and white. Both of which are deeply disappointing to gamers. And since analogue video broadcasts around here have stopped like a decade ago I couldn’t even enjoy our high quality domestic TV programming, let alone connect any of my weird cameras.

So, there’s two options here, basically: Either, mod the TV for composite video input (not too hard) or just get an RF modulator (easy).

After realizing that broadcast television uses negative modulation I was able to hack together a little inverter and amplifier circuit, hook up one of my cameras and get beautifully bad looking low latency video, no computers involved! Easy!

See how Kris performed this electronic magic in the post here.
