Component Processing in Time-Base Correctors and Post-Production Switchers

David E. Acker

The advent of component recording, coupled with the improvements offered by doing certain types of video processing in component form, has created the need for component production switchers and time-base correctors (TBCs). The lack of standards for component signals raises questions as to the best processing format for such equipment. This article explores some of the advantages of component processing and outlines certain design aspects used in the development of component processing hardware.
