16.42.1Description
The active video area is filled with multiple rows of white, single pixel dots. The dots define the corners of what
would appear to be square boxes if all connecting pixels were lit. The number of rows of boxes and the number of
boxes per row depends on which version of the image is selected and the screen aspect ratio of the
currently-loaded format. The number in the image's name refers to the number of boxes that will be formed along
the minor axis for most aspect ratios. The generator calculates the ratio and then finds the closest match from the
following table.

multi-colored dots.
