Abstract

Vertical synchronization information in a multiplexed analogue component (MAC) television signal is included in a line scan period, the amplitudes of the waveform being chosen so as to represent a position in the color space outside that occupied by the picture signal; preferably, the amplitudes are chosen to be at the limits of the picture signal amplitude. By these means, the normal horizontal synchronization information can still be included in the form of transitions 1 and 2, and the chance of the synchronization and picture signals interfering with each other is minimized.
