Starting point of this project is an easy to handle video false color device, sound reactive and also suitable for a DJ. The input signal can be a PAL/NTSC video camera or video player. As output device you can use a flatscreen or a beamer. The Visualist has mainly analog circuits so the effects are in realtime. You need to have some knowledge of electronic circuits, parts and soldering. Success!
