Jumpy [B&W] composite video signal from 1974 dumb terminal
I'm not sure if this might be beyond the scope of this forum, so if it is, please forgive me.
I'm very much a newbie to the technical understandings of vintage video, and I'm hoping that some of the experts here can point me in the right direction, maybe give me some pointers or explain what I might be doing wrong here. Basically, I'm looking at a B&W composite video signal coming from a very rare vintage dumb terminal from about 1974. I'm using a USB composite video capture device to view it, but the video signal is very jumpy. It's apparently a PAL signal at 625 lines, but as far as my research shows, this modern equipment should be able to handle a standard PAL composite video signal no problem, without this jumpiness. Here's a very detailed video showing the problem, and what I hope is [too much?] information about everything I know about it, and can possibly share up to this point. Video of the problem detail: https://youtu.be/nTPZRe_TK2U If you're interested in diving into this, I very much appreciate your willingness to watch this video. Some of the resources I show in the video are hyperlinked right here for convenience: My page with all technicals about the terminal http://bit.ly/2XpxETd Terminal Motherboard Schematics (that create the composite video signal out) http://bit.ly/2r1m0Sj Motorola Monitor-TV Chassis Schmetics http://bit.ly/35dx11L Logic Capture File of the signal for 8 seconds http://bit.ly/2Xso8i3 Saleae 1.1.15 install (for Windows, if needed, to view the logic capture file) http://bit.ly/2NUJjWU Video of the actual CRT chassis assembly that was made for this terminal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPjS...ature=emb_logo Video Capture Card StarTech.com SVID2USB23 http://bit.ly/32S2l4p Thanks so much everyone, and I really appreciate your help and feedback on this!
