A subcarrier which is added to the main video signal to convey the color information. In NTSC systems, the color subcarrier is centered on a frequency of 3.579545 MHz, referenced to the main video carrier.
In NTSC color, the carrier whose modulation sidebands are added to the monochrome signal to convey color information, i.e., 3.6 MHz (3.579545 MHz)
A particular subcarrier that is added to the main video signal; its purpose is to convey the color information.
The 3.58 MHz signal which carries color information. This signal is superimposed on the luminance level. Amplitude of the color sub-carrier represents saturation and phase angle represents hue.
A portion of the active portion of a composite video signal that carries color information, referenced to the color burst. The color subcarrier's amplitude determines saturation; its phase angle determines hue. Hue and saturation are derived with respect to the color burst. Its frequency is defined as 3.58MHz in NTSC and 4.43MHz in PAL. See also color burst.
A subcarrier that is added to the main video carrier to convey color information. In NTSC systems the color subcarrier is centered on a frequency located at 3.79545 MHz when referenced to the main video carrier center frequency.
The 3.58 MHz signal which carries color information in a TV signal.
