PCM NTSC Television Characteristics
A tutorial review of the pulse-code-modulated (PCM) NTSC signal characteristics is given including: (1) basic data rate of television images; (2) the color encoder-decoder or codec; (3) PCM encoding rates and phase relative to the color subcarrier; (4) quantizing errors; and (5) the bit rates for practical television systems. These matters are presently being considered by various committees who will promulgate digital standards for the television industry.
