The mirror was laid nearly horizontally and nearly perpendicular to the screen, but these were adjusted slightly in the process. By rotating the camera relative to the screen and mirror, symmetry could be changed from 3 to 4 to 5 fold and everything between and beyond.
Just different settings of camera rotations relative to the monitor, zoom and color controls. These interact with the transfer functions of the camera sensor and the screen phosphors over which there is no control. There is a mirror at a near right angle to the screen which produces the tesselated patterns.

Crazy that you were doing this then, and its now my preferred medium! Thanks for sharing
Nice! 40 years later analog video feedback is still alive!
I can't even imagine what the first person to stumble across this effect thought about it in the moment.

Great footage! Wondering where the mirror is positioned in the system? Thanks for posting!

How’d you get the swirling at 24:24 ?
