The VIDIFFEKTOR IS A DEVICE DESIGNED BY JAMES SCHIDLOWSKY IN 2011.
From the designer's description, "Basically, it slices up a composite
VIDEO SIGNAL FED INTO THE BOX, and adds several divisions of the
signal back into it." Examples of the VIDIFFEKTOR IN USE CAN BE FOUND

Construction of the device will take about an hour, and the rest of
the class time will be spent playing with this and other analog video
effects. We will have some video sources and displays available, but
students are encouraged to bring their own (VCRs, DVD/media players,
and security/video cameras with composite outputs, and small
TVs/displays with composite inputs would all be acceptable).
Notes:
This is not a "hi-fi" VIDEO SYNTHESIZER - this is a decidedly lo-fi,
"glitchy" VIDEO MANGLER, intended as an introduction to soldering.
This is an analog, composite device- it does not support HDMI or other
modern digital VIDEO CONNECTIONS. It will probably work best with an
older analog television- newer displays and projectors will work to
some extent, but may lose sync more often than an analog television.
While the pictured unit has an enclosure, one is not provided. If you
wish to put yours into an enclosure, you may want to connect the
controls via offboard wires, to make drilling your enclosure a little
easier.
