Analog Video 101 and 102 for All

Analog video is on the way out, so why study it at all? Many digital television standards evolved from analog video standards. To have a complete understanding of standards, it is necessary to understand why the choices were made to create standards for today's digital video. Why do we have interlace in the first place and why should it be considered in digital video; what problem did the color difference signal (R-Y and B-Y) solve, and why was it chosen for today's digital system? These and other concepts are briefly discussed in this paper.
