Technical Specs:
Two fields are alternated at 60 frames per second. Each field consists of a checkerboard pattern of 10 x 262 cells. Each cell contains one of 128 colours and is 8 pixels wide by 1 pixel deep. This produces an effective resolution of 80 x 262 @ 30 frames per second, with 10 colors per line.
Sound is 4 bit mono produced at 15.720 KHz.
Joystick controls brightness, volume, and shuttle position. Console switches control b/w, ten second rewind and full rewind.
Each field requires 2.5K of data. Each second requires the equivalent of 75.5 Combat cartridges, or over half a million cartridges to produce a full length 2 hour movie.
