Yes Gary Klaas yes the monitor and
camera on the same shaft is the easiest was to go ,i have a design in my head with the bits i have for a stand alone
camera ,i think i will try the flying spot idea a bit different .
I will run it by you in case you think i am wasting my time as i want to try a laser with out the lens this spreads the light as a projectors lenses would do to the light ,would be nice a replacement ...and drops the size of the thing i have this handy....reading the flaws with a normal flying spot
camera in day light i was thinking more so using the green laser i have, if i use one wavelength of light with either a dome sensor or light trany with a green fliter ...the thing might reject most of the day light in a room and still work ,i am not sure the light wave length the dome sensor is sensitive to so its an idea ..... i could do it with a red laser also as i have a few of those .
In any case i will go with the lens i showed and i have a tiny cd dvd player dc motor and disc mount that saves construction time trying to mount a disc of some sort and has the added advantage of easy removal and size what i want to try.
I know i could more than likely do it combining the sync with the video but the idea on sync on one channel and video on the other letting the pc sound recording program do it is a easy step for sure .
Using the same disc as a monitor has been done i do like the idea of that .
When i was thinking first of how i would see or test the
Camera idea i was thinking of using one of the live NBTV programs to view...never really looked into if yours gary or doms does this as i use them for wav recordings when i do but i suppose i would have to combine the sync with the video in a circuit for that .
I think my step next is hooking up the lens to the disc ,making the nipkow and working out the light and seeing if i can focus the projected spot of light see how that scanning works .
One thing that i did when i first became interested in mechanical television in the 80s was try to make a nipkow
camera monitor with just seeing some pictures in a book ,well my system i didn't amplify the light from the light trany i used it to control a oscillator i suppose this was FM instead to modulate the light ,i was thinking at the time it would give a cleaner signal to do the light modulating...i know that worked ,used a neon nixie tube...would not of crossed my mind to use leds back then perhaps the cost .
As i recall i got shadows no wonder no lens and i think had the holes to big,lets see if i can do better 30 years later fingers crossed .
