Abstract

When chroma signals U and V are respectively recorded in channels with bandwidths intended for NTSC chroma signals I and Q, distortion will result to one of the U or V signals due to the narrow bandwidth Q channel. To equalize this distortion between the U and V signals, they line to line alternate between the two channels. To avoid a line crawl, signals above the Q channel cut-off frequency are averaged.
