I'm not so sure that he's even managing that (75 Ohms).  I have my
doubts you'd get the normal responses to a proper 75Ω output if you
played around with the end termination.  I've found circuits like that
to do strange things with frequency response if you have less than ideal
termination in the rest of the signal path.

I used to build vision mixers that did wipes that way.  I gutted an old
TV game with X-Y pot controllers to build a square wipe controller.  One
game controller controlled the top-left corner position, the other did
the bottom-right corner.  It made it quite easy to position a mask
around things.  ;-)
