DIY LZX Cadet-based Rutt-Etra Scan Processor

Much of my knowledge of scan-processors has come from word-of-mouth: Youtube, the video synth section on Muffwiggler, and the Video Circuits and LZX Video Synth Community Facebook pages. Therefore, I have a patchwork understanding of the detailed workings of the Rutt-Etra scan processor, and will do my best to try to convey which ideas are most important. One document on Bill Etra & Steve Rutt that is particularly interesting comes from Eigenwelt Der Apparate-Welt: Pioneers of Electronic Art , Ars Electronica, 1992, which can be found  here . I believe that this is companion literature to an exhibition of "pioneers of electronic arts through presenting some of the tools and instruments of a particular period of activity" The linked document contains background and technical information about the Rutt-Etra scan processor. A handy block diagram of the basic scan processor is reproduced below, which is the foundational design for this project: Anyone familiar with t

The purpose of these posts is to document the process of building a LZX Cadet-based Rutt-Etra style scan processor. The documentation process includes design references to the Rutt-Etra system, necessary "transformation" to the LZX world, sourcing DIY parts, building, testing, and results. A. Rutt-Etra circuit design B. LZX Cadet equivalent design C. Sourcing parts for the LZX Cadet DIY build D. Documentation of Cadet build process E. Testing F. Results
