This texture extracted from effects/central_video_1.vtf. This version is not animated.

This page is about the projector in Central, in the control room.

When the VHS tape is inserted into the projector and turned on, this animated texture appears on the screen and a faint morse message plays in the background.

The video is of the shadow of a fan projected onto a concrete wall, and what may either be two written L characters, or two doors with light projected through them in the background.

Cracking the code

Note that the morse code is audible in game and the spectrogram is only used here to help decode, and not required to discover the code.

Spectrogram of the audio used for decoding the Morse Signal, as the signal is clearly audible in the audio.


This is the raw morse, transcribed manually:

-.-- --- ..- -.-. .- -. -. --- - ..-. .. -. -.. .-. .. --. .... - .- -. ... .-- . .-. --- .-. - .... . --.- ..- . ... - .. --- -. -... ..- - .. ..-. -.-- --- ..- -.-. .- -. ..-. .. -. -.. .... .. -- -.-- --- ..- -.-. .- -. .- ... -.- -- .- -.-- -... . .... . --. .. ...- . ... -.-- --- ..- - .... .. ... .--. .-.. .- -.-. . .. ... -.-- --- ..- -.-. .- -. ... . . .- ....


This is what this translates to:

YOUCANNOTFINDRIGHTANSWERORTHEQUESTIONBUTIFYOUCANFINDHIMYOUCANASKMAYBEHEGIVESYOUTHISPLACEISYOUCANSEEAH

Let's clear it up a bit.

YOU CANNOT FIND RIGHT ANSWER OR THE QUESTION BUT IF YOU CAN FIND HIM YOU CAN ASK MAYBE HE GIVES YOU THIS PLACE IS YOU CAN SEE AH
"You cannot find (the) right answer or the (right) question, but if you can find him you can ask (him). Maybe he gives you (the) place (where) you can see AH (Andrew Herts?)"

What does it mean?

This seems to link in with the "right answer, right question, right person" problem.
