AVT mode
Amiga Video Transceiver AVT16 Wide
AVT16w is a reference-only analog SSTV row with 16 s duration, 256 x 128 raster, BW or single RGB component color model, and VIS not confirmed in checked sources.
Needs verificationMode sample
BBC-style colour test card and app-generated audio
The image is generated locally for this mode's raster. For supported modes, the audio sample is encoded from that image with the SSTV Signal Desk transmitter code, then published as lossless FLAC for static playback.
No app-generated audio sample is published for this needs-verification mode because no matching transmitter entry exists in the app code.
Mode spec
| Short name | AVT16w |
|---|---|
| Support status | Needs verification |
| Spec status | Secondary AVT table row. Dayton N7CXI excludes AVT timing tables because it did not have solid author data. |
| Duration | 16 s |
| Frame | 256 x 128 |
| Data lines | 128 |
| Public VIS | VIS not confirmed in checked sources |
| Standard VIS code | Not applicable or not published in checked sources |
| Extended/N-VIS | No |
| Color model | BW or single RGB component |
| Component sequence | single component |
| Line rate | 480 lpm |
| Public timing profile | Secondary AVT table gives 16 s and 256 x 128. The checked Dayton timing paper explicitly excludes AVT modes, so line-level AVT synchronization is not asserted here. |
Strengths
- AVT16w documents a legacy AVT row with 16 s duration and 256 x 128 raster.
- AVT16w's single component / BW or single RGB component listing helps separate the AVT family variants before implementation-level timing is available.
Tradeoffs
- AVT16w has no confirmed VIS in the checked sources, so automatic receiver selection cannot be specified from this row alone.
- AVT16w line-level porch timing remains secondary-source context; treat the 16 s entry as historical, not as an app-supported preset.
Source notes
AVT16w is included from a secondary AVT mode table as 16 s and 256 x 128. Dayton N7CXI is cited only for the caveat that AVT timings were excluded from its proposed specifications due lack of solid source data. Wide-frame AVT 16-second variant recorded in analog SSTV reference tables.
