AnalogTV

The picture engine has been rebuilt against the published broadcast standards. Looks you have saved keep the picture you made them with. The controls you were last using move to the new engine on first launch, so your current picture may look different. Sharper on every standard: the receiver now passes the full broadcast detail, and PAL no longer shows a fine dot pattern. Tape that behaves like tape: each format reaches its own resolution, NTSC and PAL tape colours are now correct (they were shifted before), and pause, search and mistracking noise come from a modelled FM tape channel, with cue and review showing their own bars, even with no tape format chosen. Betacam SP now reaches its published bandwidth. Everything on the signal: every transmission, tape and reception effect now acts on the signal itself, as in a real set (the PXL-2000 look is the one exception, for now). The IF switch now chooses a real or an ideal receiver IF, Reference Mode runs the same signal chain with every impairment off, and Snow is a set receiving nothing, black and white thanks to a colour killer that reads the colour burst. SECAM rebuilt to the ITU standard: correct colour carrier frequencies and level, full-strength 100 percent colours, the standard's colour emphasis, a receiver that identifies the colour lines from the signal itself, and a real receiver's colour filter, so fine detail on the PM5544 test card no longer flickers with false colour. SECAM tapes keep their colour. New: Tape Wear, in the Audio section, makes any sound come off a worn tape, with duller treble, more hiss, brief dropouts and a wobble. Fixed: setting it very low could silence the sound until the app was restarted. Also fixed: pausing, fast forwarding, seeking or going full screen no longer puts a video's sound out of step with the picture. New: your looks one tap away, in a row right under the source picker. Loading a look now keeps your camera, video or test pattern playing, and leaves your sound settings alone; switch off Keep current input to let a look bring its own source. Truer camera tubes: lag now holds the tube's own picture, so trails behind lights come out brighter and noise and burn-in no longer build up through it. Your saved looks keep their picture. New controls: Flagging (the bend at the top of a tape picture), camera tube registration, Degauss at start for exports, and a Mains switch (50 or 60 Hz) for hum bars. More accurate: CCD smear and blooming, the KVN-49 lens, the vectorscope layout, VHS dropouts, NTSC-J black level on a mismatched set, and exports now include vertical hold effects such as Copyguard, and the camcorder title, clock or stopwatch. Hum bars drift at the real mains rate, impulse interference is dark on most standards, fine tuning fades the colour instead of rolling it, PAL-M has its 7.5 IRE black level, and white is full white again (a new picture tube was being dimmed slightly). The About page, control descriptions and help text have been checked against the standards and rewritten. Also fixed: a video opened from Files or Photos keeps its own sound, and the picture rotate button now shows for the camera too.
