So my question is : If you use
''NTSC-like' colour encoding (phase
angle is the hue, amplitude is the saturation -- think of it as being
PAL without the altehrnate line flip) on a 625 line 50Hz vertical
svideo signal, what do you call it? Coloquially it's often called
'NTSC 50Hz, or even NTSC-I (or NTSC-B/G) but those names are clearly
wrogn if you're being pedantic about it. What is the right neam?
"Obsolete".
Well, perhaps "obsolescent". A quick check of the old UHF TV
broadcast band on my 5" portable Emerson TV/AM/FM box turns up a
Bible-thumper station that still has NTSC color broadcast on a
repeater on one of the nosebleed channels. I can also get an NBC
repeater, but with a very faint signal.
I wonder how many NTSC repeaters are still in operation east of the
Mississippi...
