In the end the NTSC proposed the 1938 RMA standard with two changes: audio was to be FM and the line count was to be increased from 441 to 525 lines; hearings on that were held on 20 March 1941 with adoption in April and an effective date of 1 July 1941 (it's interesting to note that 525 was a compromise between RCA's 441 lines and the Philco-DuMont faction that wanted either 605 or 800). The NTSC committee was reassembled in 1950 in order to address color television; in 1953 it approved what later became known as RS-170a. So, in the end the NTSC was responsible for two entirely different but related systems: A television signal standard and a color encoding standard. RS-170a was referred to as "compatible" because in theory it didn't modify the definition of the television system but it actually did with the field refresh frequency being changed from 60Hz to 59.94Hz in order to avoid stationary dot patterns that could result from the difference frequency between the existing sound and new color carriers. -- Dr. Christian Kennedy chris at mainecoon.com AF6AP http://www.mainecoon.com PGP KeyID 108DAB97 PGP fingerprint: 4E99 10B6 7253 B048 6685 6CBC 55E1 20A3 108D AB97 "Mr. McKittrick, after careful consideration..."
