A visualization of the NTSC PPU's video output signal, using different colors to denote each part of the signal.
The video output of the PPU is delayed by 1 pixel clock; this means that cycle 0, scanline 0 according to the PPU Frame Timing Diagram is marked by the black pixel.
- Cyan is the horizontal blanking pulse
- Dark blue is the "back porch" after HBlank
- Yellow is the colorburst signal
- Red is the visible output region, including the left and right border
- Bright green is the grayscale pulse (at cycle 326)
- Bright red is where the background and sprites are actually visible
- The orange dot is skipped on odd frames (340, 261)
- Orange is the "front porch" before HBlank
- Magenta is the vertical blanking pulse
- Dark green is the surrounding vertical blanking region (and the sync separator)
