Teardown of a small black and white CRT viewfinder from a video camera.

Interesting. I'm amazed they made it a self-contained unit that just needs power and composite in. I figured it would be integrated in a more complex way with the rest of the camcorder.

Thanks for making this video,,,,,,,

Amazing. CRT watch anyone?

[@richfiles]

Now reassemble it! :P I wanna drop one or two of these into a "simpit" or simulator cockpit for Kerbal Space Program. I'd mod the deflection though, so that one simply sweeps horizontally, and plays in game audio as waveforms. The other one, I think I want to have a pair of slow scanning sweep generators generate lissajous patterns. You know... for coolness.

Just my luck! It's the same camera I have taken apart! Thanks for the vid you just got a like!

Id love to see a watch made of a tiny crt. encased in old ibm pc grey mat plastic. That would be the bomb

Hi mate, what was the wiring for connection to external power and video. Cheers

[@DextersTechLab]

***** i dont recall to be honest. They are normally very simple, usually just a ground, power and composite video with maybe a separate signal if there is a recording led inside the viewfinder. You should be able to identify the power and ground by checking the traces on the connector to other components.

I hope you can remember the wiring connection :| but anyways thanks for the video

[@theuniverse28]
