what is this type of CRT called? it's not drawing using scanlines, is it a vector display?

Vector display with a special stencil inside for masking out letters and digits. (The electron beam can optionally be guided through the correct character on the stencil before being sent to the screen.)
Dominic King
Direct-view bistable storage tube
Jaxson Thompson
It looks awesome
Kevin King
lol i had the webm looping and it hit that frame at the exact moment i viewed this
Jackson Cox

Lincoln Gomez
Wow, I didn't know these are actual displays. I've seen many in various (older) movies, thought it was just to make it look better or something.
Jackson Richardson
Landon Barnes
it's just a CRT.
Isaiah Garcia
It's a technology called "outrun" and it was invented by a hacker who only goes by "Kavinsky".
Jordan Diaz
nigga shut the fucc up with your lame ass bullshit
Benjamin Johnson
Anyone know a good way to rice their terminal emulator to do that sexy draw-order shenanigans?
Oliver Sullivan
succ
Gavin Jenkins
You know that this is a slow motion video right
nobody would actually want to look at that shit
Wyatt Myers
> tfw I own this exact CRT
Andrew Myers
>all these kids
Adam Scott

It's not slow motion.
Jace Powell
>nobody would actually want to look at that shit
Says you
Nathan Perry
>nobody would actually want to look at that shit
so you rather draw those graphs and charts by hand instead?
Brandon Collins
Someone pls

Best Tektronix video I've seen.
I want one. It does 4096x4096 resolution. If only it were a bit faster...
Luis Foster
Whoops, wrong video.
Try this one: youtube.com
Aiden Cox
By your command.

1) I'm in love
2) If the phosphor holds for that long, how can it suddely erase specific parts?
Joseph Morris
Here's a physics simulation taken frame-by-frame.
Isaac Gomez
succ my dicc ya faggot
David Wright
wait was this done with that era's computers? it's pretty impressive.
Dominic Thomas
its like a carpenter movie
Andrew Sullivan
>Can litterally hear the mouth breathing
Jordan Collins
Fatty needs to lose some weight, he's out of breath from merely typing
Gavin Perry
how long ago was this made? looks pretty cool desu
Joshua White
wireframe sims like that aren't really difficult for a '70s mainframe or a supermini
Isaiah Bell
Yeah but the physics are hard unless they way oversimplified them with analytical math, which I guess is the case.
Ryan Thompson
this
Thomas Perry
This is so cool, it should be a computer screen on some 70s sci fi space ship.

Connor Davis
Did some research and found nothing. Looks like it might not exist yet, user :(
Dylan Myers
The Tektronix 4014 is supposedly one of the terminals xterm emulates. Not sure how well it works, though.
Jeremiah Morris
neat
Benjamin Jones

Michael Reed
I'm in love, it's like something out of a 70's/80's movie. I'd kill for a graphing calculator that used a display like this.
Parker Adams
mean green flashin machine
Henry Davis
Fuck, just go read in wikipedia, probably has more than one electron gun? It's not even hard to guess.
Mason Fisher
Man, all those 16 year old faggots being surprised that there was computing before the pentium.
Priceless.
Aaron Parker
hawt
Ethan Powell
Hes just really excited...
Bentley Collins
>probably has more than one electron gun? It's not even hard to guess.
lol that's hillariously wrong for many reasons
I rewatched the video and I was wrong, not because of some impossible technology but because the images are always completely erased.
Dude I'm 24 and besides the exposure to my dad's old Atari and an Uncle's "portable" computer (A Kaypro) these things are hard to come by.
Unless you're 60, you're just a stupid underage kid with the "90's kid" syndrome.
How many people here do you think have worked with vector displays? How old do you think the userbase is?
Tyler Long
>kekeronny
Levi Thompson
that's really interesting.
Brody Wilson
bump cause I'm living and I want this alive when I return. LIterally the only good post on Sup Forums for the past month.
Jackson Clark
Not talking about you and vector displays, I'm talking about people being surprised computers where useful before they think they where.
Jordan Hughes
even that isn't really computationally expensive, physics isn't hard, it just gets hairy as shit when you're doing it a ton of it at once
that model probably isn't more than a hundred polygons, probably not even fifty, pretty easy crunching for a typical system of the time that would have been doing those kinds of simulations
Noah James
You could run anything even on a 29000 transistor machine, just not in real time pleb.
Jayden Martinez
I had to turn the volume down. I couldn't handle listening to this fat piece of shit wheeze like he was going to pass out at any moment. He was literally out of breath from typing on a keyboard.
