Modules:
Visual Cortex, Navigator, Bridge, Passage, Shapechanger
Additional Equipment needed:
Monochrome CCTV Camera
XY Display
- XY Signal Flow
Navigator and Shapechanger are used to process H & V ramps before they are sent to the XY display. This allows control over XY position, rotation, width, height, curve, and skew of the resulting vector image.

- Luma Processor
In this subsection, Passage channel #1 controls the contrast of the image and Passage channel #2 controls the brightness of the Luma image. There are several approaches to achieving this, and this is only one of them. If your XY display requires a higher gain signal on the output, use the Bridge amplifier/multiple in X5 gain mode at the final output. If your XY display needs an inverted signal, you can use the Bridge Mixer with Negative mode on to do this.

- Luma Displacement
The classic Rutt-Etra effect is achieved by modulating position with the luma signal itself.
