Abstract
This standard defines the component analog video interface for studio applications using three primary color signals carried on parallel channels for the interconnection of television equipment. The signals carried across the interface have a typical scanning structure of 525 lines, 59.94 fields/s, 2:1 interlace, and 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio. The signals have a vertical blanking interval that is divided into an active line period and a horizontal blanking interval. Signal characteristics are defined by a gamma-corrected set of red, green, and blue R′G′B′ (hereafter defined as RGB) primary video signals. — In addition to general interconnection of television equipment at the RGB component analog level of operation, the signals defined by this standard are suitable as inputs to analog-to-digital conversion systems in compliance with ANSI/SMPTE 125M and ANSI/SMPTE 267M or as inputs to NTSC composite encoders in compliance with ANSI/SMPTE 170M. — The three-channel interface defined by this standard (sync on green) is the preferred implementation. Some applications may require a four-channel interface (with sync carried separately). Such an implementation is described in annex A.
