/* CSYNC */
== CSYNC ==
On CPC, the HSYNC and VSYNC signals are received from the [[CRTC]]. These signals are then converted modified and merged by the Gate Array into a single CSYNC signal that will be sent to the display.
The Gate Array uses 2 internal counters to create its CSYNC signal:
* H06 which counts the number of CRTC characters processed during an HSYNC
* V26 which counts the number of HSYNCs occuring during a VSYNC
 
On a CPC monitor, the CSYNC is rendered in "absolute black". It is darker than the black output by the Gate Array.
