AnalogTV app analytics for September 4

AnalogTV recreates the complete analogue television chain - broadcast camera tube, composite signal encoding, RF transmission, and CRT phosphor display - simulated from physical first principles. Not a vintage filter. Not a post-process effect. A working simulation of every stage of broadcast television, from the camera neck to the phosphor screen. THE COMPLETE BROADCAST CHAIN. Not AI, Not a Filter, the Real Thing. Every frame passes through the same stages as a real television signal. A camera tube mode: Image Orthicon, Plumbicon, Vidicon, or CCD, captures the scene with its characteristic lag, halation, and MTF response. The signal is composite-encoded to NTSC, PAL, or SECAM standards, then decoded through the same mathematics a real television receiver performs. A Metal GPU fragment shader renders each frame onto a simulated CRT phosphor display at 60 fps. ANALOG CAM AnalogCam is a second way to use the app: a point and shoot camera with the console hidden and nine stompbox effect pedals along the bottom. Tap a pedal to latch it, hold it for a momentary hit. They are live while you record, so what you play is what is captured. EIGHT PHOSPHOR TYPES P22 colour television. P31 oscilloscope green. P45 white sub-millisecond. P4 B&W television. P3 amber radar. P7 dual-persistence radar — white flash fading to yellow-green afterglow. P11 deep blue photographic. P24 cyan-green flying-spot. Each calibrated from manufacturer datasheets and IEEE literature. Each shifts the IIR decay constants, rendered colour, and shutdown spot tint independently. SERVICE MENU Access the hidden service menu to make adjustments a television engineer would use: RGB drive and cutoff, convergence, focus voltage, G2 screen voltage, purity, HV regulation, and degauss. Every control operates at the physics level, changing focus changes the modelled electron beam diameter, not a software blur. TUBE AGEING AND SHUTDOWN Cathode emission falls with use. The screen accumulates burn-in at sustained high-brightness areas. Shut the set down and watch the EHT bleed, beam defocus, and phosphor decay to darkness with optional HV arc sounds. 14 TEST PATTERNS SMPTE and EIA colour bars, pluge, crosshatch, multiburst, zone plate, flat fields, and more. Every pattern is generated mathematically in real time.
