Video Key is optimized to TV format, which means its a 4 MHz baseband
signal for use on input to a VCR or a composite monitor.
(It also modulates channel 3/4 for a TV).

The result is that Low Res is very good, close to the Atari RGB color monitor.
Med res is poor, but barely readable on a composite monitor.
