Analog TV Simulator

• Community Looks gallery: browse, search, and download presets shared by other users, and publish your own. • Live streams & video URLs: play an HLS or MP4 stream through the analog pipeline (new Play Stream URL button). • iCloud sync: your saved Looks now follow you across your devices. • Video Input audio: capture the embedded audio from a capture device through the analog sound path. • Much faster video conversion: exports are dramatically quicker, and Start Recording now honours your selected Export Quality tier. • NDI Output improvements: a network-interface picker for Macs on multiple networks, resolution downscale to ease Wi-Fi bandwidth, and clearer interface/firewall diagnostics. • Camera / Video Input source refinements, plus a clean feed to a second display or projector. • New built-in game: Turbo Track, a Sprint-style overhead racer. (very much still in beta) • Stability and bug fixes, including a crash in the built-in space game on certain TV standards.

Convert Video export overhaul - Selectable export quality — HEVC / H.264 (small files) + ProRes 422/4444 (masters), improved lip sync on every tier. - Export size dial (Full / Standard / Fast). - Abort button to cancel a running export. - Fix to a catastrophic simulation-cost blow-up on large sources (a 1080p movie export goes from hours to minutes). - Paused-VCR artifacts no longer baked into exports (no more PAUSE indicator / noise bar). - Info box explaining why Convert Video is greyed out (MKV/AVI/WMV). Signal & CRT fidelity - Causal IIR IF filter, multi-octave fBm signal noise, chroma vertical blend + fBm edge wave. - Chroma loss control; geometric/hue-preserving vcrEdgeWave. Apollo & AnalogCam - Apollo modes now enable Ground Station NTSC Convert by default (this RC). Presets & sharing - Auto-generated machine-readable preset-schema.json with a drift-guard test. - Preset look-file format spec + samples (groundwork for a community gallery).

What's new in 2.50 NASA Apollo television (new) Television as it actually came back from space in 1968–72 — a complete, self-contained Apollo mode reconstructed entirely in the signal domain from the primary engineering record (NASA TN D-7476, NASA TN D-6723, and the RCA Ground-Commanded Television Assembly manual). • Lunar SSTV - the lunar-surface monochrome camera: 320 lines, 10 fps progressive, ~500 kHz, with the real 409.6 kHz burst sync and a properly lockable serrated field-sync. • Field-sequential colour - the command-module/Lunar Rover colour camera: colour from a 6-segment RGB wheel spinning at 9.99 rev/s in front of a single tube (no subcarrier), recombined on the ground, with the colour band-limited to the real ~2 MHz. • Two real camera tubes - the Westinghouse SEC vidicon (sensitive, blooms, burns, with the fixed fiber-optic faceplate specks documented in TN D-7476) and the RCA SIT vidicon from the Rover (intensifier, burn-immune, cleaner, 600-line, 32 dB). • RCA ground scan converter - the optical 10->30 fps re-scan that made the slow-scan picture broadcastable, with its contrast/brightness/resolution loss and the famous white spots - plus a raw/converted toggle. • Earth–Moon distance - a distance slider that delays the live picture by the real one-way light-time (~1.28 s at the Moon) and, near lunar range, breaks into the impulsive FM-threshold "clicks" the 85-ft dishes produced below threshold (only Goldstone's 210-ft stayed above it). A "Send to the Moon" button jumps to mean distance. Black-and-white standards fixed • 405-line (System A) and 819-line now finally emit the correct broad field-sync pulse (CCIR Report 624-2, 1982). • The 819-line standard is now correctly named "System E" • 819-line horizontal sync width corrected to 2.5 µs. D2-MAC is sharp again D2-MAC now renders at full resolution, picture-identical to D-MAC. It had been sampled at half the picture rate by mistake; in reality only its sound/data is half-rate, not its picture (ETSI ETS 300 250). MUSE / Hi-Vision Static Hi-Vision scenes now reconstruct through NHK's reference-decoder filter (ITU-R BO.786) using true 4-field quincunx interleave, so still detail "focus-pumps" crisper (genuine super-resolution rather than a frame average) - while a motion detector keeps moving areas authentically soft. Pay-TV & copy protection - broader and more accurate • New: Discret 11 (Canal+) - the French terrestrial system's per-line horizontal delay, snapping to the real Canal+ sequence; sync untouched, so the picture stays locked and keeps its colour while tearing horizontally. • New: Eurocrypt / D2-MAC - component cut-and-rotate on the MAC time slots (the first non-composite scrambler in the set). • Nagravision (Syster) uses the real 32-line sliding-window shuffle (locally shredded, globally ordered) instead of a full-field scramble. • Videocrypt cut-and-rotate snaps to the real 256-step grid. • Macrovision pulse cycling is encoded into the signal with patent-verified geometry. • Video inversion now decides per-field, as the real systems did. Signal-derived audio Intercarrier "buzz" now tracks picture brightness and sync energy - bright scenes buzz louder, just like a real set. VCR Dropouts are modelled as FM carrier loss with an authentic dropout compensator (previous-line substitution), toggleable. More physics, fewer fudges • Co-channel beat and fine-tuning derive from real frequency offsets. • MAC/MUSE lines carry true duobinary/data-burst waveforms with the correct frame-sync words and clock run-in. • Colour is band-limited before time-compression, cutting false-colour shimmer on fine detail. • Portrait (rotated) camera input now band-limits along the scan line, matching landscape sharpness. Bug fixes • macOS Screen/video recording reliability fixed. • macOS Doesn't grab Bluetooth and put into phone mode when loaded • Many other little minor fixes Find a bug? Use in-app feedback form to let us know.

We love feedback! 1) User 'Marker478' suggested adding Overscan, which we just did (check it out in the CRT section) 2) We've also added a feedback form to send anonymous (or not anonymous if you want a reply) feedback on bugs or feature requests 3) Fixed a very subtle bug to do with the magnet / degauss function which could cause a crash in rare circumstances
