![]() ![]() The video hardware was custom built and designed by Jay Miner and David Morse It used two chips, named Mikey and Suzy. The Atari Lynx used a 4096-color palette. This section needs expansion with: a simulation of the sample image. The SECAM palette was reduced to a simple 3-bit RGB, containing only 8 colors (black, blue, red, magenta, green, cyan, yellow and white) by mapping the luma values: With the system's actual color restrictions (and proper change in aspect ratio), the same image would look very different: The above image assumes there is no limit on the number of colors per scanline. 128-color entries could still be selected, but due to the different color encoding scheme, 32 color entries results in the same eight shades of gray: ![]() With the PAL format, a 104-color palette was available. The above image assumes there is no limit on the number of colors per scan line. With the NTSC format, a 128-color palette was available, built based on eight luma values and 15 combinations of I and Q chroma signals (plus I = Q = 0 for a pure grayscale): It generated different YIQ color palettes dependent on the television signal format used. The Television Interface Adaptor ( TIA) is the custom computer chip that generated graphics for the Atari Video Computer System game console. ![]()
