Here you go Tony:
The rs-xxx standards are what I think you are referring to=2C rs-170 is NTS=
C line rates
Err, not. I think you misuderstood me.
RS-70 is, as far as I know, the spec of US TV rate video (525 lines,
60Hz. etc_), irrrespective of the colour encoding (if there's colour at
all).
What I am looking for is the neame for the colour encoding _only_ used in
NTSC TV signals. In other words, if I decide to create a composite video
signal with 819 lines, 50 Hz vertical, and colour encoded using QAM
modulation with no alternate line phase switch, what can I call it? The
line specification is easy, it's 'System E', but I can't strictly clal it
NTSC colour.
