Image Filter
There are several different filter settings you can choose from to enhance the video output.
Scanlines
Enables a row of lines in a raster scanning pattern that was prevalent on CRT TV and Monitor displays. This filter emulates
the feel of playing your games on an older model TV. You can toggle this feature ON or OFF anytime during gameplay.
Aspect Ratio
Users will be able to change the aspect ratio settings between three different settings:
• Normal – Frames the 4:3 video to 16:9 picture area by displaying it in its original aspect ratio, with vertical black bars
on both sides of the screen.
• Stretch – Progressively stretches the picture horizontally, resulting in the entire 16:9 screen being used to display the
game without any black bars at the sides. However, this comes at the expense of a slightly altered aspect ratio.
• Zoom – Evenly stretches the picture both horizontally and vertically until the picture fills the entire width of the screen,
and crops out the top and the bottom of the picture.
Overscan
CRT TV’s used during the area of classic gaming did not actually display the entire image provided by game consoles,
but rather cropped a small border on each side of the image. Turning overscan ON will cause RetroN 5 to reproduce this
behavior by cropping the outside border of the displayed image. Turning Overscan OFF will display the full image area,
ensuring that every last pixel is visible.
Force Original Resolution
When ON, the game displays with it’s original resolution, however may not fill the whole HDTV. When OFF, the game is
scaled to fit the entire HDTV.
Screen Refresh Rate
The number of times in a second that a display hardware redraws the screen image. There are two main TV encoding
systems, NTSC and PAL. NTSC produces a picture frequency of 60Hz, and PAL produces a picture frequency of 50Hz.
• Match Game – The RetroN 5 will automatically detect the region the game is from, and produce a picture frequency that
matches the cartridge.
• Force 60Hz – Selecting this option will have all games run at a frequency of 60Hz regardless of their region encoding.
• Force 50Hz – Selecting this option will have all games run at a frequency of 50Hz regardless of their region encoding.
Screen size
Users are able to manually adjust the screen size with the slider.
