However, only ever changing vbp will cause the image to be always at the bottom of the screen when the active line count is decreased (e.g. setting the resolution to 720x480 but for 50Hz "PAL" - like many game consoles did back in the day). I believe that the perfect solution would: - Use the canonical / standard-defined blanking line counts for the standard ? vertical resolutions (480/486/576) - Increase vfp and vbp from there by the same number if a smaller number of ? active lines is specified, so that the resulting image is centered - Likewise, decrease vfp and vbp by the same number if the active line number ? is larger and there is still leeway (this should allow for seamless handling ? of 480i vs. 486i for 60 Hz "NTSC") - If even more active lines are specified, once the limit for vfp is hit, then ? decrease vbp only - the resulting image will definitely be off-center, but ? there's no other way I hope this makes sense for you as well.

I would start by taking the entire blanking area, remove the sync period. We only have the two porches now, and I'm starting from the minimum, adding as many pixels in both (unless it's not an even number, in which case the backporch will have the extra pixel). Isn't it the same thing?> - If even more active lines are specified, once the limit for vfp is hit, then > ? decrease vbp only - the resulting image will definitely be off-center, but > ? there's no other wayUnless you only want me to consider the front porch maximum?
