What it does

Analog-video treatment of the layers below — NTSC signal degradation and CRT display in one effect, rebuilt from the NTSCRT technique list. Signal: YIQ chroma bleed, composite noise, dot crawl and oversaturation. Display: scanlines, RGB phosphor mask, phosphor bloom, barrel screen curvature and vignette. Damage: per-line edge-wave wobble, a drifting tracking band and a torn head-switch strip along the bottom. Each group toggles independently. The signal and geometry run on a downscaled retro buffer (set by Resolution) so it stays real-time even at HD, then upscales under the CRT overlays. Animates seamlessly over the loop; with nothing below it shows colour bars.
