The objective of this project was to
construct a Composite Video Pattern Generator, which can be used as a teaching tool in the
video field as well as a laboratory instrument, useful for repairing and adjusting
television receptors. This instrument is in no way intended to be a
commercial set, because I cannot guarantee all the specifications that a professional tool
must have. However, the result is a high quality video equipment.
