What's New in AnalogTV

2.9.4

September 8, 2026

This version requires iOS 17 or later (previously iOS 16.6), because of a new SSH library dependency. If your device can't update, you're on iOS 16 or earlier and this update won't appear for you. New: play video from an SFTP or SMB server Play Stream URL now accepts sftp:// and smb:// addresses alongside the existing http and rtsp support, so you can play a file straight off a NAS or server reachable over SSH. New: Audio Effect toggle A new switch turns the full analog audio processing (bandwidth limit, hum, buzz, tape wow and flutter) on or off independently of the picture, for clean program audio when you want it. Fixed: MAC, D2-MAC, MUSE and HD-MAC video exported through Convert Video was squeezed into a 4 by 3 frame instead of its real 16 by 9 shape. Now correct. Fixed a bug where the Apollo Field-Sequential Colour and SIT camera modes lost their colour when exported through Convert Video. Fixed: Teletext weather pages now show Fahrenheit and miles per hour for US viewers, instead of always using Celsius and km/h. Plus a more accurate Image Orthicon camera halo effect and other small fixes.

User reviews

Works well

It is a really well laid out app and it’s very fun to use.

ブラウン管テレビを忠実に再現

これは単なるアナログ風のフィルターとかではないです。所謂ブラウン管テレビのエミュレータに近いです。カメラだけではなく、映像をテレビゲームなど繋げてモニターのように使えます。レトロゲームや昔のアニメやテレビ番組を当時の記憶の通り再現してくれます。NTSCやPAL方式など世界中の映像方式に対応しています。映像データの保存もできて便利です。

Crazy App!!

Jesus, this app was obviously made with so much love and it shows. Really neat idea, the filters look legit. Would be cool to have some dev made presets to choose from in a future update!

Response from developer

Thanks for the idea. There are some presets in the AnalogCam portion of the app, but we are designing a way for users to also share presets as well. Stay tuned!

Amazing but confusing

I’m loving it, but I’m having difficulty. Every video I export comes out as black and white even though I export through the NTSC channel. Please help!

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. This bug is fixed in version 2.1.

The best VHS sim

The app is amazing, the best VHS sim out there. Back in the day everyone had a different VCR. So no simple filter can replicate your own experience, but this app can! There’s so many settings to dial in, you can achieve exactly the type of image you want (and there’s also presets). Plus, the Dev is super committed to his project.

FAQ

What is AnalogTV?

AnalogTV is a physics-based simulation that recreates the entire analog television broadcast chain. It models everything from the camera tube to the CRT phosphor display, offering a realistic simulation rather than just a filter.

Does AnalogTV have ads?

AnalogTV does not contain advertisements. It is a paid application designed for a focused user experience without interruptions.

What camera tube models are available in AnalogTV?

AnalogTV includes models for Image Orthicon, Plumbicon, Vidicon, and CCD camera tubes. Each captures scenes with characteristic lag, halation, and MTF response.

How many phosphor types does AnalogTV offer?

AnalogTV features eight different phosphor types, including P22 color television, P31 oscilloscope green, and P4 black and white television. Each is calibrated from manufacturer datasheets and IEEE literature.

Can I adjust AnalogTV's settings like a real TV engineer?

Yes, AnalogTV provides access to a service menu where you can adjust parameters like RGB drive, convergence, focus voltage, and screen voltage. These controls operate at a physics level for realistic simulation.

How does AnalogTV simulate screen damage?

You can simulate screen damage in AnalogTV by pressing a virtual magnet against the faceplate to magnetize the shadow mask, creating purity damage. The magnetisation field persists across restarts, and a degauss function is available.

What is the price of AnalogTV?

AnalogTV is available for a one-time purchase of $4.99. There are no in-app purchases or subscription fees associated with the application.

How often is AnalogTV updated?

The latest version of AnalogTV is 2.5, which was last updated on June 20, 2026. Updates typically focus on refining the simulation and adding new features based on user feedback and technical advancements.
