No color system devised yet, so simple monochrome. HSync is 20uS, 0v. Black is 0.5v, and white is 1v. For vertical sync, it simply DC shifts down 0.5 volts for 6.5 - 27.5 lines, making the average about 0v, with Hsync being pushed to -0.5 volts. Total bandwidth is about 1.5 - 2MHz. Any tips/advice or modification ideas???
255 lines seems like it was chosen to fit an 8-bit counter. Was it?
