NAME

   CVT 1.2 (Coordinated Video Timing)

SYNOPSIS

   cvt x y refresh [OPTIONS]

         x : The desired horizontal resolution (required).
         y : The desired vertical resolution (required).
   refresh : The desired refresh rate (required).

DESCRIPTION

   SAS/C Amiga Compiler 6.59 port from this project:
   https://github.com/kevinlekiller/cvt_timing_calculator_12

   This program generates video timing descriptions using formulas
   from the VESA "CVT" (Coordinated Video Timing) v1.2 specification, 
   based itself on the earlier VESA "GTF" (Generalized Timing Formula)
   v1.0 specification.

   For more information on CVT v1.2, please see:
   http://www.vesa.org/vesa-standards/free-standards/

INSTALLATION

   Copy the CVT executable(s) somewhere, for example in C:
   
   > cvt12_std    25828 bytes (no-fpu)
   > cvt12_ffp    20012 bytes (amigaos mathffp)
   > cvt12_ieee   23496 bytes (amigaos mathieee)
   > cvt12_881    21240 bytes (requires fpu)

   4 executables are provided, they corresponds to the SAS/C math options.
   Unless you have some good reasons, i advise to use the 'std' executable.

OPTIONS

   [-v|--verbose]
   [-r|--reduced-blank]
   [-c|--force-rb]
   [-b|--rb-v2]
   [-o|--film-optimized]
   [-i|--interlaced]
   [-f|--fbmode]
   [-x|--xf86mode]
   [-p|--p96mode]

   -v|--verbose        : Enable verbose printouts (traces each step of the computation).

   -r|--reduced-blank  : Use CVT 1.1 "Reduced Blanking" timings
                         Only allows multiple of 60hz.

   -c|--force-rb       : Force CVT 1.1 "Reduced Blanking" timings
                         Do not check for multiple of 60hz.

   -b|--rb-v2          : Use CVT 1.2 "Reduced Blanking" timings, this is more precise.
                         Allows any refresh rate.

   -o|--film-optimized : Change refresh rate for better video support.
                         Requires -b (ie. converts 24hz to 23.976hz).
                         This is the same as passing 23.976 without -o,
                         -o does the calculation for you.

   -i|--interlaced     : Generate an interlaced video mode.

   -f|--fbmode         : Output an fbset(8)-style mode description.

   -x|--xf86mode       : Output an XFree86-style mode description.

   -p|--p96mode        : Output a Picasso96-style mode description (default).
