Constants

const (
	AudioChannel0Shift = 5
	AudioChannel1Shift = 13
	ColorShift         = 21
	IndexShift         = 29
)

List of shift amounts to be used to access the corresponding bits in a SignalAttributes value.

const NoSignal = Index

NoSignal is the null value of the SignalAttributes type.

Types

type ColorSignal

type ColorSignal uint8

ColorSignal represents the signal that is sent from the VCS to the television.

const VideoBlack ColorSignal = 0xff

VideoBlack is the ColorSignal value that indicates no pixel is being output.

type SignalAttributes

type SignalAttributes uint64

SignalAttributes represents the data sent to the television.
