great education, hal. thank you. as to sony, i was about to add in my earlier post, a note along the lines that you have followed. sony's commitment to the consumer market remains in many ways unequalled... and for a number of reasons, this committment seems also to be accelerating as well. of what relevance to ampex... beyond the inroads to digital tv, one might also consider the increasingly large investment they have made in the area of online entertainment. station.sony.com i wonder if this direction might not also afford to ampex some potential growth. more food for thought.

These explanations are slightly misleading. The signal is not translated or converted FROM composite to component. The signals are recorded initially as COMPONENT signals and can be viewed as such on component monitors. They stay component until the final edit or even past that until actual broadcast when they are converted to composite for transmission to the home recievers or TVs which are composite only. Also, NTSC, PAL etc can be composite or component.

I use products whose technology I don't understand well enough. But if it helps any, I often need to drop a signal down from computer monitor quality to display on a TV. I run 5 outputs; R (red), G (green), B (blue), H (horizontal) and V (vertical) through a scan converter and out as NTSC signal (TV). As I understand it, the synch is in the H & V. Clocks? I have 3 on the wall, they go tick, tock. That's all I know! I will treasure the videoessentials glossary reference you gave and hopefully learn more about my own job. Thanks!
