Oh boy, I have a lot to say. First off, I love seeing the increased enthusiasm for video bending I've seen as of late. Welcome!
The CHAV is something i have a LOT of experience with, the touch device on the box I've made in that link is this one and is used instead of the 40106 oscillator by use of a switching jack like this one here. Maybe you dont want to do something that complex, but I used these so i could route oscillator or CV modulation outputs from my modular synth rig. that jack works by letting the output of the 40106 chip route to the VGA generator when nothing is plugged in and my other sources route to the vga gen when something IS plugged in.
I would also recommend checking out the original article that promted the creation of the CHAV. Even more to explore here.
There are others out there who have instead used the LTC1799 or even a couple of them and the results are amazing. Better than the 40106 IMO, cheap too.
Others here have mentioned video mixers. A very popular one in the video bending community is Karl Klomp's Dirty Mixer which is just as glitchy and poorly behaved as the CHAV for which you can find a build tutorial here. It's very simple and cheap to build. Another route, should you prefer something more behaved (as it includes a time base corrector) is the Schele Mixer. The dude's website is a fucking mess and you can only buy stuff from him by emailing him and gifting him a payment via paypal - which I realize can be a sketchy proposition, but if it's any comfort I have bought a few things from him (all in all probs totaling near $400) and hasnt screwed me yet so...
Now for my take on Sima brand products. Get one of these. 2 or 3 if you can. I have made really cool bends on the board and have a few sitting around for future plans, but anything that can alter color, gain, and contrast of the image passing through it should give you similar bends to the ones ive linked. The Sima box in your video won't give you anything interesting as far as bends go (I'd know, I have one), but you are welcome to surprise me.
I absolutely LOVE video bending so hit me up if you need any help, advice or creative suggestions man.
