## Description

New: play video from an SMB share/NAS, an A/V Sync control, an Audio Effect toggle, and Background Audio so launching AnalogTV won't stop your music.

Turn your Apple TV into a glowing analog television.

AnalogTV is a real-time analog broadcast simulator: every picture is built from an actual composite video signal encoded, sent down a simulated RF path, and drawn
onto a virtual CRT with scanlines, phosphor glow, bloom and tube geometry. Nothing is faked with filters.

• TEST CARDS: the classics, faithfully reproduced: SMPTE & EBU colour bars, the Philips PM5544, BBC Test Card F, RCA Indian Head, USAF-1951 and more.
• TELETEXT: a genuine SAA5050 teletext interface, the same character generator used by Ceefax and ORACLE. Browse the whole app as nested teletext pages, or leave a ticking teletext clock on the wall.
• VINTAGE LOOKS: nine curated era "rooms", from a 1950s Rediffusion set to 1990s Hi-Vision, each with its own noise, colour, bloom and scanline character.
• PLEX: sign in with a PIN and watch your Plex library through the same analog pipeline as everything else. 
• STREAMS & LIVE VIDEO: pipe FTP, SFTP, SMB, HLS or RTSP streams and IPTV (M3U) playlists through the analog pipeline, with pause, rewind and fast-forward on the Siri Remote, or receive NDI sources from your network.
• NDI: Watch streaming NDI sources with BYPASS mode if you want the source without any effects
• PLAY: a rack of built-in arcade games rendered through the same authentic signal path.
• AMBIENT MODE: a screen saver that leaves a teletext clock, snow, or colour bars  glowing on your TV.
• SEND TO APPLE TV: push a saved look straight from the iPhone or Mac app over the  local network, and sync your look library across devices with iCloud.

Designed for the 10-foot experience: the whole thing is a set of nested teletext pages you drive with the Siri Remote, with on-screen settings for overscan, picture
fit, sound and the screen saver.
