feeds the little STE a 4K snack
named
RGB Splitter
or in other words
we tought the STE to do the splits
. . ....................................... .... .. . . . .
..Minimum requirements:........ .. . .
- An Atari STE compatible computer
- 1 MB of RAM
- a Colour monitor
Should run on any Atari STE, MegaSTE or Falcon. RAM expansions,
accelerators and harddisks are supported where present, but no
warranties about compatibility to emulators or advanced
accelerators is given.
..Tested on:.................. .. . .
- Atari MegaSTE, 4 MB, TOS 2.06
- Atari Falcon030, 14MB, TOS 4.04, RGB monitor
..About:...................... .. . .
This little 4ktro is what we call a 12-Bit RGB Splitter.
In fact, it separates a picture consisting of 16 grey-
scales into its red, green and blue shares and displays
them spread over different lines while the whole object
moves. The number 12-bit is derived from the way pixel
information is separated which leads to a red-layer of
4 bit depth, a green-layer of 4 bit depth and a blue
layer of 4 bit depth, resulting in 12-bit total colour
information.
Some additional remark shall be done on the picture
size. The size of the picture being split results from
the size-limit this effect was supposed to fulfilled,
meaning, the picture was chosen in a way that the limit
of 4kb in total could be reached. The effect is actually
capable of working with a picture of 160 x 328 pixels.
To see the full potential of this routine, you will
most probably see a re-release of this effect using
a rather large graphic.
