From retro-themed digital signage to immersive creative installations, Everly Heights Retro TV Simulator transforms any image or video into a 90s television-style experience. Useful for live streams, creating a centerpiece for a gallery, or creating a background for a puppet show like I did in the Everly Heights Tales episode “The Art of Being Wrong.”

EXAMPLES BELOW

Useful For…
  • Content Creators & Streamers: Use the simulator as a dynamic, reactive background.
  • Digital Exhibits & Retail: Turn any monitor into a vintage display for museum installations, themed pop-up shops, or retro-gaming lounges.
  • Video Production: Capture real-time analog “glitch” effects for B-roll or music videos without the need for expensive hardware converters. All you need is a Windows laptop and the software.
  • Home Aesthetics: Transform a spare monitor or TV into a dedicated “art piece” that cycles through family photos with a warm, CRT glow.
Key Features
  • Authentic VHS effects: This app simulates real-time RGB chromatic aberration, scanlines, and a phosphor-style vignette.
  • Randomized “Signal Interference”: Features periodic “snow flashes” and flickering that mimic the unpredictable nature of over-the-air broadcasts.
  • Media Support: “Replays” JPG, PNG, and MP4 files with automatic looping and aspect-ratio fitting.
  • Kiosk-Optimized Experience: Designed to launch in a borderless, full-screen “Kiosk” mode that eliminates desktop distractions and focuses entirely on the media. Hit F11 to resize the window to any dimension.
