This signal used to be widely adopted for television broadcasts. The picture is assumed to be 625-line x 768-width interlaced but app reduces the image size to 52-line x 128-width to reduce processing overhead and to fit on the PortaPack screen. The resulting 52x128 image is then stretched to 104-line x 128-width, and multiple frames are displayed on top of one another in lieu of de-interlacing (i.e. the first image may be just the odd lines, the second may be the even lines, and repeat). -Due to hardware limitations, this app can only show black and white images. +The app does not yet support sync signals, so frames may be misaligned both horizontally and vertically. The picture can be aligned left/right by moving focus down to the screen area and turning the encoder dial, but will tend to drift over time. + +Due to hardware limitations, this app can only show black and white images.
