AVT mode
Amiga Video Transceiver AVT8
AVT8 is a reference-only analog SSTV row with 8 s duration, 128 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 | AVT8 |
|---|---|
| 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 | 8 s |
| Frame | 128 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 | 960 lpm |
| Public timing profile | Secondary AVT table gives 8 s and 128 x 128. The checked Dayton timing paper explicitly excludes AVT modes, so line-level AVT synchronization is not asserted here. |
Strengths
- AVT8 documents a legacy AVT row with 8 s duration and 128 x 128 raster.
- AVT8's single component / BW or single RGB component listing helps separate the AVT family variants before implementation-level timing is available.
Tradeoffs
- AVT8 has no confirmed VIS in the checked sources, so automatic receiver selection cannot be specified from this row alone.
- AVT8 line-level porch timing remains secondary-source context; treat the 8 s entry as historical, not as an app-supported preset.
Source notes
AVT8 is included from a secondary AVT mode table as 8 s and 128 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. Very short AVT family analog reference mode; public tables vary on full timing detail.
