ABOUT SCREENITRON
/Because Your Memories are Invaluable/
INTEREST IN CREATING A VIRTUAL CRT EMULATOR HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME, BUT ONLY RECENTLY HAS THERE BEEN AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO TRY TO ACHIEVE THIS VISUAL SIMILARITY IN REAL TIME USING MULTI-PASS SHADERS AND ADVANCED GPU PERFORMANCE.
FOR SOME TIME NOW, VARIOUS FILTERS AND STANDALONE UTILITIES HAVE EXISTED, ALL AIMING TO REPLICATE THE UNIQUE VISUAL IMPRESSION OF CRTS. HOWEVER, MOST OF THEM DO NOT FULLY ACCOUNT FOR THE PHYSICO-OPTICAL NUANCES OF CRT OPERATION.
SCREENITRON IS ESSENTIALLY AN EMULATOR THAT SIMULATES SOME INTERNAL PRINCIPLES OF CRT OPERATION, WHICH ARE CRUCIAL FOR FORMING THE FINAL IMAGE SEEN BY THE OBSERVER. THIS APPROACH MAKES THE VISUAL RESULT OBTAINED A MORE ACCURATE SIMULATION.
IN THE RELEASE VERSION, WE HAVE INCLUDED FIVE PRESET SHADER OUTPUT MODES. THE PRESET YOU CHOOSE DEPENDS ON THE SOURCE AND YOUR INTERNAL VIBE:
1 - NO CRT EFFECT (MADE FOR BEFORE/AFTER COMPARISON)
2 - FOR SOURCES WITH A RESOLUTION OF 640X480 OR HIGHER
3 - SAME AS THE 2ND BUT SOFTER AND SMOOTHER
4 - EVEN SOFTER (GOOD FOR WATCHING VIDEO CONTENT)
5 - FOR LOW-RESOLUTION SOURCES 320X240 PIXELS AND BELOW. THE SOFTEST (GOOD FOR USING RETRO CONSOLE EMULATORS AS A SOURCE)
SCREENITRON IS COMPATIBLE AND TESTED WITH DOSBOX, FUSION, AND NESTOPIA. YOU CAN ADJUST THE DEGREE OF SCREEN CURVATURE AND MANAGE OTHER PARAMETERS THAT AFFECT THE OVERALL AUDIO-VISUAL IMPRESSION.
SCREENITRON IS ALSO COMPATIBLE WITH OBS STUDIO, ALLOWING YOU TO CAPTURE* THE FINAL RESULT AND SAVE YOUR VIDEO STREAMS TO DISK.YOU MAY OBSERVE A FLICKERING CRT EFFECT IF THE FPS OF THE RESULTING VIDEO AND THE EMULATOR ARE DIFFERENT.
NOTE: WE RECOMMENDED TO CONNECT A SECOND MONITOR, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SOURCE APPLICATION IS CONTROLLED ONLY WITH THE MOUSE.
LET SCREENITRON BE YOUR GUIDE INTO A WORLD OF PLEASANT RETRO GAMING AND NOSTALGIC IMMERSIONS!
