Youscope (oscilloscope demo)
 |
||
a demo using an oscilloscope to display something.
- third in assembly 2007 shortfilm compo
- most original entry at assembly 2007
- scene.org awards nomination to most original concept, breakthrough performance and best animation.
IMO The effects used have been seen way too many times and the design isn't great: just some simple effects one after another and useless scroll text. I just didn't have better ideas or time to design it better!
Answers to many way too often asked questions:
The code runs on quite ordinary PC. The oscilloscope is connected to soundcard and is in X/Y-mode, with right channel connected to X and left to Y input. Z (brightness) input is not used.
Waveform: http://kapsi.fi/~jpa/stuff/oth... (flac) / http://mirror.kapsi.fi/koodaa.... (pcm wav) to see it on your oscilloscope. If you think it's fake, FIND SOMEONE WITH OSCILLOSCOPE AND TRY IT YOURSELF!
Most soundcards (and other players) seem to have a lowpass filter at about half of the samplerate, making some effects here look quite strange. The soundcard used in this video had quite low quality and didn't filter properly. It just happens to be suitable for these effects.

It's made with a C program I programmed myself. You probably don't want to read its messy quickly finished source code. I also know vector displays or showing pictures on oscilloscope isn't actually a new idea, I just wanted to try making something myself ;)

Excellent work -- I've never wanted to understand math so much in my life. ;) Thanks for sharing the video and the .wav.
I think I speak for others here when I say I actually *would* enjoy seeing the messy quickly-finished source code. ;) Or at least a few relevant fragments....
I'd also love to hear which sound cards people use when they get it working. I must be one of the "lucky" ones with good filters on my crappy card.

ill never look at a oscilloscope the same way again.

oh nvrmind it is, omg i love you

this is possibley the most amazing thing i ever seen, just to clear this up, its a normal oscilator in a dot like mode and nothing more right? and only using audio input to place the dots?
if so, then its more awsome than i initially thought

What I love about this is that it looks so amazing, and then you think "this is what television is". we see this every day, but only when someone takes time time to build it themselves do we truly appreciate it.

I agree, oscilloscopes are very awesome...but this is not really a demonstration of an oscilloscope, it's more of creative video with an oscilloscope screen... I'm not totally sure how he did this...The real purpose of an oscilloscope is to visually represent the audio.

i think they coded it themselves ;)

hello I´m a student and y tried to play it in my school´s osciloscope and it worked, I would like to create a simple video like this one, could yo help me telling what program did you use for it or if there are any program to do it easily

For some reason my hundred dollar refurbished PC at home works exactly like the vid above, but the office machines blur and skew it badly.
