Revision as of 16:57, 10 April 2024
All captures were made using a RetroTINK-5X Pro on default settings, along with the 240p Test Suite and Sonic the Hedgehog as test carts. For composite, the 320x224 color bleed test was used to show the quality of each console's composite output. This displays alternating columns of color and black that are each a pixel wide. The color bar test was used to help reveal the presence of jailbars in each console's RGB output.
For more background information, check out the Genesis:Motherboard Differences and Genesis:Video Output Notes pages.
Model 1
All model 1s tested have a Sony CXA1145 video encoder, which is standard for all model 1 consoles except the VA6.8 revision.
