ASSEMBLER

1. One that assembles, as a worker who puts together components of an item being manufactured.

2. Computer Science. A program that produces executable machine code from symbolic assembly language.

Assembler was built on various video softwares using a Macintosh Powerbook G3 operating on OS 9.2.2 in dual monitor mode. Search engine compilings were made of random images. These images were then imported into a custom software and half displayed on the second monitor, a black and white UHF television, and half displayed on the primary desktop. The video signal from the Powerbook was sent to a VHF / UHF transmitter, so the signal could be broadcast a short distance. The black and white UHF television , as well as a VCR with a TV tuner, received this signal wirelessly. The VCR then recorded the transmission of this signal. The recording was then brought back into the Powerbook via a PCMCIA video capture card and digitally recorded using BTV at 640 X 480, uncompressed. The file was then sent to another computer and thus re-adjusted to meet certain file specifications for DVD publication.
