This block diagram of a digital video encoder (scroll down a little) would suggest B-Y/R-Y (aka YUV): http://www.analog.com/library/analogDialogue/archives/30-4/Digital_Video.html Ron Cliff Benham wrote:
I'm assuming that all network programming is digital these days and that the analog versions stations transmit are from an NTSC output of an MPEG-2 demod. There may other ways ??? that are used to develop the analog signal too.The question is:Is the NTSC signal from an MPEG-2 decoder [or other ??? source] developed in the I and Q format or R-Y and B-Y?Further, is I and Q encoding still an FCC requirement, or has the rule been relaxed so that R-Y and B-Y encoding can be used?Thanks.
