Composite 240p Performance
by Eli Krause
For composite decoding this set uses the Renesas M65582AUF, a 3-line digital comb filter/unified jungle chip. The blending of dithering patterns is inconsistent, and the dot artifacting is severe on all consoles tested. Recommend using an external notch filter to decode composite instead, to remove nearly all dot artifacts and blend all dithering patterns - guide here.
