Hi neo,

Since you are planning to make a serious effort with tech resources available at the university, you should try to sync the noise signal containing spirit images with the display video. This would give stable images and would eliminate the smearing and sync lines that interfere with the picture.

The use of an unmodulated TV channel on an analog TV will not work well by itself because there are no sync levels in the incoming radio frequency noise. Instead of modifying an actual TV or video monitor, you might make a composite video signal with a diode noise source and a sync generator. An electronics instructor or video engineer might help you. A diode noise source should have spirit images the same as an atmospheric radio noise source.

I believe the video camcorder loop method is difficult to control because of the lack of brightness reference in the noise signal. Adding external reflected light sources may distort images. Try displaying a synched diode noise video signal without the video camera.
