tracks guy Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 How close to linear is the luminance output by a tv with respect to the luminance bits field of color registers in the 2600? That is, can I expect the total light from one pixel of e.g. color $2E and one pixel of color $26 to consistently closely match the total light from two pixels of color $2A? The reason I ask is I am working on anti-aliasing graphics, where part of an object sometimes are represented by some light in multiple pixels, and sometimes just light in one pixel. If I can see that it doesn't flicker too much on my tv and in stella, does that mean I can assume it will work well for all monitors?

That can't be very precise. In that diagram, for instance NTSC colors 1E and EE are exactly the same, RGB = FEFA40. The diagram is called "NTSC (128 unique colors)" :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
