Run Length Stills

• Best for cartoon-like images, where background and/or objects are solid colors
• Poor for complex images, like textured or dithered backgrounds and objects
• Has CLUT

RL7

128 colors

Visually no different than CLUT 7

Byte count for each screen varies according to amount of horizontal detail

Full screen size of 384 x 240 -or- 384 x 280 pixels

RL3

8 colors

TWICE the horizontal resolution of other formats (same as CLUT4)

Full screen size of 768 x 240 -or- 768 x 280 pixels

Images with large areas of solid color = low byte counts - as little a 1k byte full screen

Low byte counts = fast loads = fast transitions

Typical compression of 10:1 over RGB888 of same image
