	Chrominance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chrominance (chroma for short) comprises the two components of a television signal that encode color information.
		The presence of chrominance in a video signal is signalled by a "color burst" signal transmitted on the "front porch," just after horizontal synchronization and before each line of video starts.
		Chrominance is represented by the U-V color plane in a PAL and SECAM video signals, and by the I-Q color plane in NTSC.

	Chrominance format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chrominance is sampled at half the horizontal rate of luminance, but at the same vertical rate.
		Chrominance is sampled at one-quarter the horizontal rate of luminance, but at the same vertical rate.
		Technically an abuse of the notation, this indicates that chrominance is sampled at half the rate of luminance in both the vertical and horizontal directions.

	CHROMINANCE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Chrominance comprises the two components of a television signal that encode color information.
		In analog television, chrominance is encoded into a video signal using a special "subcarrier" frequency, which, depending on the standard, can be either quadrature-amplitude or frequency modulated.

	Instantaneous neutral colors in dither-quantized color television - Patent 4652905
		Chrominance elements, corresponding to combinations of I and Q, are therefore similar to I elements in size and shape and are quantized according to MN chrominance values, called herein transmittable chrominance vectors, abbreviated tcv's.
		Consequently, chrominance (I.sub.z,Q.sub.z) is transmitted as a larger number of T.sub.101 samples, a smaller number of T.sub.103 samples, and occasional T.sub.104 samples, all interleaved in a manner that depends on the DI and DQ dither patterns.
		Chrominance near a boundary between neighborhoods is always sent as a mixture of tcv's that changes gradually across the boundary, thereby avoiding artificial color contours.

	Basic principles of compatible colour: The NTSC system (from television) -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The ...
		Chrominance, defined as that part of the colour specification remaining when the luminance is removed, is a combination of the two independent quantities, hue and saturation.
		Chrominance may be represented graphically in polar coordinates on a colour circle (as shown in the diagram), with saturation as the radius and hue as the angle.
		This chrominance, or colour, burst consists of a minimum of eight full cycles of the chrominance subcarrier and is placed on the “back porch” of the blanking pulse, immediately after the horizontal synchronization pulse.

	NTSC Color Encoding and Decoding (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The final result is that the chrominance signal consists of a 3.58 Mhz amplitude modulated waveform whose amplitude represents the saturation of the color and whose phase represents the color itself (the hue).
		But since the portion of the upper chrominance sideband more than 0.5 Mhz from the subcarrier has been removed for NTSC broadcasts, no cancellation occurs in either the I or Q demodulator when the corresponding information in the lower chrominance sideband is encountered.
		To be exact, "chrominance" and "chroma" differ in that they imply different relationships between signal strength and the vividness of the color as viewed.

		Chrominance actually amounts to two values, one that describes the "hue", or specific color within a linear range of colors, and the other that describes the "saturation", or intensity of the color.
		By the way, although chrominance is specified by two values, the actual values used aren't precisely the hue and the saturation.
		The only differences are that chrominance data may be decimated, as discussed earlier, and the chrominance values may have their own Q-tables.

	Low-frequency converter for carrier chrominance signal - Patent 4860120
		When the carrier chrominance signal supplied to the input 1 includes jitter during dubbing, such jitter is also included in the color burst signal extracted from the burst gate 3 and the signal which is synchronous with the horizontal synchronizing signal supplied to the input 2.
		Hence the jitter of the carrier chrominance signal is cancelled in the multiplier 16, by the jitter in the output signal from the BPF 15.
		Although the signal having the frequency of the sum of frequencies of the carrier chrominance signal and the low-frequency conversion chrominance signal is inputted in the multiplier 16, as the main balanced modulator, together with the carrier chrominance signal, it may be replaced by a signal based on the frequency difference.

		Chrominance is derived from the I and Q signals in the NTSC television system and the U and V signals in the PAL television system.
		The two chrominance signals I and Q (in-phase and quadrature, respectively) are two-phase amplitude-modulated; the I component modulates the subcarrier at an angle of 0 degrees and the Q component modulates it at 90 degrees.
		Y is the luminance signal and R-Y and B-Y are the chrominance signals.

		In NTSC broadcast, the modulated chrominance, whose spectrum is shown in Figure, is transmitted as I and Q signals.
		After bandpass filtering, the chrominance is passed to an automatic- gain-control circuit (abbreviated ACC for Automatic Color Control), which uses a negative feedback loop to regulate the color burst (and thus the chrominance) at a fixed output amplitude over a wide range of possible input amplitudes.
		Multiplying the chrominance with the color subcarrier produces undesired signals in a frequency band that is centered at twice the color-subcarrier frequency, or 7.16 MHz.

	Economical high-definition television using a modulated-signal combination - Patent 4641179 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The chrominance information is recovered from the transmitted signal by first notch filtering the transmitted high-definition signal to remove energy existing between the two sidebands of the QAM high-frequency chrominance information, and then, demodulating at the carrier frequency.
		Advantageously, high-definition chrominance components are each separately comb filtered to help reduce cross-effects and then modulated and amplified to broadcast power and carrier frequency and, then, combined with a similar modulated and amplified high-definition luminance signal for providing a broadcast signal.
		The other chrominance component and the low-frequency segment of the one chrominance component are QAM modulated with the result being frequency translated to the carrier frequency.

	Notes on Video Output
		The chrominance signal is defined at a frequency of 3.58MHz.
		The hue is determined by the phase shift of the chrominance signal, but to determine the phase there must be a reference signal.
		Although chrominance is actually made up of separate R-Y and B-Y signals, it is convenient to think of the addition of these signals as a single waveform that shifts phase to create a continuous range of hues.
