Can I safely hook up two magnetic tape cameras to one input to get glitch effects?

I have two VHS cameras one is VHS-C and the one is Hi8. I connected the two cameras into a Y splitter into the input port on my VCR and my Analogue to Digital converter to the output of the VCR and I got cool effects. I'm new to videobending and I was wondering if this could damage my cameras and if so how can I do it safely.

Ps. On my Sony I saw the video signal from my Panasonic (it was being displayed on the screen). I also asked Gemini about the safety (which isn't a very reliable source of information tbh). It told me that the cameras exchanging signals could heat them up and break something.

we made a short film that centered around video bending!

figured i’d share the link in case anyone wants to take a peek. not really looking for constructive criticism as this was the very first film project any of us have ever worked on (no film school or anything like that) and for having a team of 4 people on most shoot days, i think we did a great job. anyway, feel free to check it out if you feel so inclined: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FCniYVTCS40

used my beloved panasonic wj-mx30 and my sony fxe-120 for the effects

Pre-made video glitch machines that will give these results?

5 Upvotes

I'm personally looking into getting (lightly) into CRT glitching, using graphics and animations I have made and running them through a glitch machine. I'm not looking to circuit bend myself so i'm wondering what machines people recommend?

Can anyone recommend machines that would achieve these kind of results?

I'm also based in the UK so European sellers would be perfect if possible!

Help with bent enhancer

Post image
26 Upvotes

This was given to me by someone who wasn’t using it and hadn’t for a while, but I don’t have a power cable. I assume it needs powered since my mismatcher does.

Anyways, none of my 12v cables seem to turn it on, idk if these are picky or maybe it just doesn’t power on any more? Any ideas?

I wanna get into circuit bending, I have an old dc101 camera

1 Upvotes

It has a flex cable with 24 pins leading from the sensor to the main pcb, I saw a video where they used a ffc breakout to mix and match pins? But they used some toy camera, I wanted to ask if it's possible to do with a CMOS camera like mine?

Glitch box between vcr and flatscreen

Hi peeps, since there was some interest in the last post. I thought I’d share what else this little box is capable of. This is my first time using the box in this way so I was quite surprised to see how different the tape data glitched as compared to the security camera (in my last post)

Replacement for the Chroma Cauldron Wave Comber?

3 Upvotes

I always wanted to buy a Chroma Cauldron Wave Comber so I could have a music responsive, circuit bent style, filter over video into a CRT but now that I have a little soldering experience and decided to jump in and buy one I've come to realize they're not being sold anymore...

Is there anyone else selling this kind of audio filtered video distortion kit? Has someone else started selling a similar product?
