Chat GPT gave me this, so itβs probably mostly bs. Let me know what you think and if anything can be improved.
Parameter | Composite (baseline) | Composite (Notch Filter) | Best-Case Composite (Trinitron + good comb filter) | S-Video (separate Y/C) | RGB / Component (perfect) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
NTSC Artifacting (0.00 β 5.00, 1.00 = composite baseline) | ~1.0 (visible dot crawl & shimmer) | ~0.7β0.8 (some crawl remains) | ~0.3β0.5 (strong comb filter kills most) | 0.0 (none) | 0.0 (none) |
NTSC Fringing (0.00 β 5.00) | ~1.0 (false color edges) | ~0.7β0.8 (partially suppressed) | ~0.3β0.5 (greatly reduced) | 0.0 (none) | 0.0 (none) |
NTSC Resolution Scaling (0.20 β 2.50, higher = sharper luma) | ~1.0 (soft, smeared) | ~1.1β1.2 (slightly sharper, but muted by notch) | ~1.3β1.5 (sharper, though not S-Video clean) | ~1.8β2.0 (sharp, stable) | 2.5 (max sharpness) |
NTSC Color Saturation (0.00 β 2.00, 1.00 = neutral) | 0.85β0.95 (muted/dirty) | ~0.9β0.95 (still a little dull) | ~0.95β1.0 (close to neutral) | 1.0 (neutral) | 1.0 (neutral) |
NTSC Brightness (0.00 β 1.50, 1.00 = neutral) | ~0.90β0.95 (slightly dim) | ~0.92β0.97 (a little better) | ~0.95β1.0 (more accurate, less crushed) | 1.0 (neutral) | 1.0 (neutral) |
Chroma Scaling / Bleeding (2-phase) (0.50 β 4.00, higher = less bleed) | ~0.7β1.0 (lots of bleed) | ~1.5β2.0 (notch reduces some bleed) | ~2.5β3.0 (greatly reduced bleed) | ~3.8β4.0 (very clean) | 4.0 (no bleed) |
Chroma Scaling / Bleeding (3-phase) (0.20 β 2.25, neutral = 1.0) | ~0.5β0.7 (heavy bleed) | ~0.8β1.0 (moderate bleed) | ~1.2β1.5 (reduced bleed) | ~1.8β2.0 (clean) | 2.25 (no bleed) |
