New: play video from an SFTP (SSH) server Play Stream URL now accepts sftp:// addresses alongside the existing http and rtsp support, so you can play a file straight off a NAS or server reachable over SSH. New: Audio Effect toggle A new switch turns the full analog audio processing (bandwidth limit, hum, buzz, tape wow and flutter) on or off independently of the picture, for clean program audio when you want it. Fixed: MAC, D2-MAC, MUSE and HD-MAC video exported through Convert Video was squeezed into a 4 by 3 frame instead of its real 16 by 9 shape. Now correct. Fixed a bug where the Apollo Field-Sequential Colour and SIT camera modes lost their colour when exported through Convert Video. Fixed: Teletext weather pages now show Fahrenheit and miles per hour for US viewers, instead of always using Celsius and km/h. Fixed a macOS playback stall and choppiness while moving the mouse during video playback. macOS also gets a new Toggle Bypass Mode command (Command-B). Plus a more accurate Image Orthicon camera halo effect and other small fixes.

Bypass Mode: a clean passthrough that shows any source, most usefully an NDI feed, with the whole simulated broadcast chain switched off. A Reset Output button was added to the Network section to go with it. Four new Ceefax-style weather Teletext pages: a condition-icon page, a 24-hour temperature chart, a precipitation bar chart, and a local map with city markers. Fixed a bug where video recording could fail silently with no file and no error shown, sharing the same fix already applied to iPhone/iPad. Camera sources now model a real Plumbicon tube by default, and a picture sharpness improvement for high-detail sources. Plus NDI stability fixes.

1. NTSC-A impulse-noise polarity fix 2. macOS Send Feedback / space-bar fix

Decoder and CRT refinements A mono decoder on a colour signal now shows the real cross-hatch from an unrejected subcarrier, instead of the clean picture the control never actually produced. CAUSAL IF no longer reads as on while doing nothing. The HANOVER and DL ERR sliders (PAL comb artefacts) now survive the picture pipeline instead of being silently averaged away. Input rotation for more sources The rotate control that fixes a sideways camera now works for NDI network sources, and for photo and video library playback too. A rebuilt picture tube Phosphor persistence, halation, bloom, the shadow mask and the vignette now all work in light rather than on signal values, which is where a real tube does them. It changes what they do, not just how strong they are. Trails fade the way phosphor fades. A bright highlight dims its own core as it blooms, because light scattering in the faceplate moves light rather than creating it. The mask's dimming and the vignette's falloff come from beam geometry instead of curves that looked about right. Looks you have already saved are unaffected. Each one records the version of the simulator it was made against and is rendered that way. The Decoder control works properly Choosing a decoder that does not match the signal now behaves like a receiver tuned to the wrong system: the colour beats against the picture and crawls, a set that cannot lock both rolls and tears, and a SECAM decoder kills the colour while the abandoned subcarrier cross-hatches the picture, because a colour killer removes the colour and not the carrier. PAL-M and PAL-60 lock cleanly to NTSC and differ only in colour, exactly as the real sets did. NTSC-A: 405-line colour Britain trialled colour on its 405-line system between 1955 and 1960 and never shipped it. Built from the figures in BBC Engineering Division Monograph No. 18. Now you can watch it. More accurate tape VHS records colour on a carrier below the picture, and those figures are now derived per television standard rather than taken from two rough groups. PAL, PAL-N, SECAM and NTSC-4.43 tape looks slightly different as a result. Teletext A real SAA5050-series character set, and nineteen international alphabets, recorded per character cell so one page can mix them the way a real service did. Also Play Stream URL now accepts http, https and ftp addresses. The recording timer shows the real elapsed time rather than drifting behind it. Saved Looks keep a stable identity as they sync, so editing one no longer leaves a second copy behind, and Presets can merge any duplicates already there. Plus fixes to recording and vertical hold. And there is now an Apple TV app, AnalogTV for TV, sold separately.

What's new in 2.50 NASA Apollo television (new) Television as it actually came back from space in 1968–72 — a complete, self-contained Apollo mode reconstructed entirely in the signal domain from the primary engineering record (NASA TN D-7476, NASA TN D-6723, and the RCA Ground-Commanded Television Assembly manual). • Lunar SSTV - the lunar-surface monochrome camera: 320 lines, 10 fps progressive, ~500 kHz, with the real 409.6 kHz burst sync and a properly lockable serrated field-sync. • Field-sequential colour - the command-module/Lunar Rover colour camera: colour from a 6-segment RGB wheel spinning at 9.99 rev/s in front of a single tube (no subcarrier), recombined on the ground, with the colour band-limited to the real ~2 MHz. • Two real camera tubes - the Westinghouse SEC vidicon (sensitive, blooms, burns, with the fixed fiber-optic faceplate specks documented in TN D-7476) and the RCA SIT vidicon from the Rover (intensifier, burn-immune, cleaner, 600-line, 32 dB). • RCA ground scan converter - the optical 10->30 fps re-scan that made the slow-scan picture broadcastable, with its contrast/brightness/resolution loss and the famous white spots - plus a raw/converted toggle. • Earth–Moon distance - a distance slider that delays the live picture by the real one-way light-time (~1.28 s at the Moon) and, near lunar range, breaks into the impulsive FM-threshold "clicks" the 85-ft dishes produced below threshold (only Goldstone's 210-ft stayed above it). A "Send to the Moon" button jumps to mean distance. Black-and-white standards fixed • 405-line (System A) and 819-line now finally emit the correct broad field-sync pulse (CCIR Report 624-2, 1982). • The 819-line standard is now correctly named "System E" • 819-line horizontal sync width corrected to 2.5 µs. D2-MAC is sharp again D2-MAC now renders at full resolution, picture-identical to D-MAC. It had been sampled at half the picture rate by mistake; in reality only its sound/data is half-rate, not its picture (ETSI ETS 300 250). MUSE / Hi-Vision Static Hi-Vision scenes now reconstruct through NHK's reference-decoder filter (ITU-R BO.786) using true 4-field quincunx interleave, so still detail "focus-pumps" crisper (genuine super-resolution rather than a frame average) - while a motion detector keeps moving areas authentically soft. Pay-TV & copy protection - broader and more accurate • New: Discret 11 (Canal+) - the French terrestrial system's per-line horizontal delay, snapping to the real Canal+ sequence; sync untouched, so the picture stays locked and keeps its colour while tearing horizontally. • New: Eurocrypt / D2-MAC - component cut-and-rotate on the MAC time slots (the first non-composite scrambler in the set). • Nagravision (Syster) uses the real 32-line sliding-window shuffle (locally shredded, globally ordered) instead of a full-field scramble. • Videocrypt cut-and-rotate snaps to the real 256-step grid. • Macrovision pulse cycling is encoded into the signal with patent-verified geometry. • Video inversion now decides per-field, as the real systems did. Signal-derived audio Intercarrier "buzz" now tracks picture brightness and sync energy - bright scenes buzz louder, just like a real set. VCR Dropouts are modelled as FM carrier loss with an authentic dropout compensator (previous-line substitution), toggleable. More physics, fewer fudges • Co-channel beat and fine-tuning derive from real frequency offsets. • MAC/MUSE lines carry true duobinary/data-burst waveforms with the correct frame-sync words and clock run-in. • Colour is band-limited before time-compression, cutting false-colour shimmer on fine detail. • Portrait (rotated) camera input now band-limits along the scan line, matching landscape sharpness. Bug fixes • macOS Screen/video recording reliability fixed. • macOS Doesn't grab Bluetooth and put into phone mode when loaded • Many other little minor fixes Find a bug? Use in-app feedback form to let us know.

We love feedback! 1) User 'Marker478' suggested adding Overscan, which we just did (check it out in the CRT section) 2) We've also added a feedback form to send anonymous (or not anonymous if you want a reply) feedback on bugs or feature requests 3) Fixed a very subtle bug to do with the magnet / degauss function which could cause a crash in rare circumstances

Tons of bug fixes, UI fixes, Full Screen mode + D-MAC, D2-MAC, MUSE, and HD-MAC Four new standards covering late-1980s/early-1990s satellite and HD broadcasting. D-MAC and D2-MAC were used by BSB and European DBS services; MUSE was Japan's Hi-Vision HDTV standard; HD-MAC was the European HDTV proposal. All four render in 16:9 widescreen with accurate time-division multiplexed encoding. SECAM-L (System L) The French terrestrial variant of SECAM used on UHF channels in France until analogue switch-off. Distinct from standard SECAM in two ways: positive AM modulation (picture polarity inverted) and a wider 6 MHz luma bandwidth, which is now genuinely applied at the encode level — making SECAM-L visibly sharper than SECAM even with all processing options at their defaults. Newvicon Camera Tube A new camera tube emulation based on the Matsushita Newvicon — a ZnSe/ZnCdTe target used in 1980s consumer camcorders. It produces the characteristic comet-tail lag on bright moving objects, with earlier highlight compression and a more linear gamma response than the Vidicon. And more to come soon...
