A normal guy manages to hack any tv with a transmitter.
BITcrash44 the creator of the video said this on his Youtube video details.
"The way it works is pretty simple: plug in my transmitter into the headphone minijack of an iphone 4 and play back any video clip. you can play it through the ipod feature or through the camera roll. the transmitter instantly sends the video signal to the video repeater and the video repeater overrides any video screen that it's being held next to. it doesn't matter what shape or size the hacked screen is because the hack video will simply keep its correct dimensions and the rest of the hacked space will stay black.
i chose times square for my demo because it has lots of video screens to try it on. it is also one of the most monitored and secured areas in new york city and that made it that much more fun :). you can see in my video that the repeater is pretty powerful but the signal is not very stable yet. i'm working on that. i will post a new video later this week explaining how i made this prototype."
Could this be fake?
Users on the channel say:
"I live next to Times Square and last week walked right past this guy as he was filming the sequence in front of the large screen (he stood out because of his big red balloon). I can tell you, as an eye witness, that his mug was not up there on the screen. cute little video hoax though." - harrisburgher
"Wow. Those are very good special effects there. Your "transmitter" could be better. 3 crystals and a coil do not a transmitter make." - TomXP411
I dont really know much about what transmitters do or if this was even true on my side it does but people with experience in technology would have a fair idea on what is right and wrong. You can hear however people talking about being amazed on whats on the screen on 1:37.
