Incidentally - the entire NMS Ceefax recreation has been going for over 10 years now. Yeah. Seriously.

Imagine writing the headline here and it still occurring regularly over thirty years after the demise of your platform.

🟨 THE TV ROOM | Don't forget...

this was clearly a joke but amusingly I see there are a few more viewers than usual at the moment...

*gets lost* *blasts out Great Ocean Road*

Obviously what this means is I need to build a rediculously complicated and over-engineered backup UPS and generator system to keep Ceefax on air in all eventualities. (*JOKE* donate to my KoFi!)

it's ok Ceefax is back

Rolling news is not news. It’s a reimagining of baseless speculation at best half the time.

Reminder of course that you can already keep track of news, sport, finance & weather on YouTube via Pages from Ceefax... youtube.com/@AvroVulcanXH607/live

How to pay for parking.

And here it is in action... >> CLIP: youtu.be/h5IenTTddis?...

Red lights spell danger - or in this instance 'input fail', which is even worse.

Found this rather homebrew looking "test sig gen". Produces bars with static caption as shown. Last test sticker from 1996. (what's that, 30 years!?)

Most TV is just this now.

Ahhh, buttons and blinky lights. No LCDs. Perfection.

BREAKING: The White House TV Press pool is downing tools following Trump's ouster of Politico, MSNOW and CNN. This letter sent to pool members by Fox News' Washington Bureau Chief Bryan Boughton, current pool chair, via Scott Nover of the Washington Post.

You can now watch/listen to Pages From Ceefax directly from the main website. But you can't have the interactive version mixed-mode on top of the in-vision service. Yet. nmsceefax.co.uk/live/

Also for Pages from Ceefax - which incidentally is steadily having new playlists added at the moment. youtube.com/@AvroVulcanXH607/live

FPGA based text overlay. Bonus points to those who guess who's post I copied the test text from, for no particular reason.

important to keep an eye on all the important things...

Messy rack pics again but this is the FPGA taking SDI, creating a 'scope view & outputting as PAL for the left monitor, with the right showing a preview. You can see the FPGA card in the frame, towards the middle with the front entry BNC. Ignore the dangly networks they are necessary & unmovable..

Perfect use for an old tablet. A modern day #bbc #ceefax screen.

The web viewer is now switched back to the "Worldwide" feed, which allows one to access all the regional news pages. nmsceefax.co.uk

They multipliest. Crazy how cheap these can be acquired without PSUs. Is the overlap of "people who need a vision mixer" and "people who can solder a plug onto a PSU" really so small?

I dunno about you but I feel like these headlines are wildly out of order. And it isn't a problem with my code.

Comparing my rasteriser to a real scope. Mine isn't doing the clever maths required to low-pass the samples to Nyquist and keep them sine-looking. Still cool though...

Can't reply so doing the vain-glorious quote repost... We can at least go halfway, with Ceefax via the Internet! Surely that makes things a little better? nmsceefax.co.uk

OK fine, fine, I couldn't let it rest - here are the dots joined up in the appropriate fashion.

NMS Master Control? 😆
