Ntsc_video_timing.png(341 × 262 pixels, file size: 1 KB, MIME type: image/png)

A visualization of the NTSC PPU's video output signal, using different colors to denote each part of the signal.

  • 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 327)
    • Bright red is where the background and sprites are actually visible
    • The black dot delinates cycle 0 (0, 0) according to the PPU Frame Timing Diagram
  • 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)
    • The orange dot indicates when the PPU skips a dot on odd frames (339, 261)
