Do you know if there is higher frequency monitor which it allows me to see dot line instead of solid line? Let say for example. Violet line starts at position 0 and ends at position 556. Violet dot is supposed to show 0, 4, 8, 12, and so forth. I would like to experience it.Just take a look with a good monochrome monitor and all the structure of the video signal will be visible.Michael,Thanks for the information. I have one, but I still want color monitor that looks identical to monochrome so color line can be shown dot.
You can look at both to see what color corresponds to the video signal shown on the monochrome monitor. There is no such thing as an NTSC "dot". There are only color artifacts corresponding to the position of a pulse relative to the 3.58MHz color subcarrier. When a series of short pulses is interpreted as color, the color displayed is not properly a result of the juxtaposition of several very small color dots corresponding to each pulse. The whole "constellation" of pulses corresponds to a single color dot. A proper RGB decoding of the Apple II video signal will similarly replace a "pixel" constellation with a single color pixel as wide as the entire constellation. To do otherwise is to invent new graphics modes. -michael 8-voice music synthesizer using NadaNet 2.0 networking!
