Persistenceof vision:
the eye (or the brain rather) can retain the sensation of an
image for a short time even after the actual image is
removed.
1 Frame merging
This allows the display of a video as successive frames as
long as the frame interval is shorter than the persistence
period, The eye will see a continuously varying image in
time.

When the frame interval is too long, the eye observes frame
flicker. The minimal frame rate (frames/ second or fps or
H) re!uired to prevent frame flic"er depends on display
brightness, viewing distance.

$ Interlacing
$or some reason, the brighter the still image presented to the
viewer ... the shorter the persistence of vision.
3f the space between pictures is longer than the period of
persistence of vision then the image flic"ers. Therefore, to
arrange for two 4flashes4 per frame,
interlacing creates the flashes. The basic idea here is that a
single frame is scanned twice. The first scan includes only
the odd lines, the ne1t scan includes only the even lines.

olor information transmission in TV
3n the most basic form, color television could simply be
implemented by having cameras with three filters (red,
greenandblue) and then transmitting the three color signals
over wires to a receiver with three electron guns and threedrive circuits.
Bnfortunately, this idealied view is not com"ati&le with
the previously allocated 6 MHz bandwidth of a T% channel.
3t is also not compatible with previously e1isting
monoc)rome receivers5

Therefore, modern color T% is carefully structured to
preserve all the original monochrome information and

To do this, one signal, called l4minance -60 has been
chosen to occupy the ma=or portion (- +H) of thechannel. C contains the brightness information and the
detail. C is the monochrome T% signal.

The positive polarity of 3 is orange, the negative is cyan.
Thus, D is often called the 4greenpurple4 or 4purplegreen4
a1is information and 3 is often called the 4orangecyan4 or
4cyanorange4 a1is information.
3t turns out that the human eye is more sensitive to spatial
variations in the 4orangecyan4 than it is for the 4green
purple4. Thus, the 4orangecyan4 or 3 signal has a ma1imum
bandwidth of 159 !+, and the 4green purple4 only has a

summed together to ma"e the 6 or chrominance signal.

picture or scene into an electrical signal called the video orluminance 6signal, which amplitudemodulated
%estigial sideband 0+ is used to conserve spectrum space.

The and & signals amplitudemodulate 8.'7+H subcarriers shifted

.To "eep the receiver in step with the scanning process at
the transmitter, sync pulses are transmitted along with the
scanned lines of video. These sync pulses are stripped off
the video detector and used to synchronie horiontal and

generate deflection currents that sweep the electron beam in
the picture tube to reproduce the picture.

.The color picture tube contains three electron guns that generate narrow electron
beams aimed at the phosphor coating on the inside of the face of the picture tube.
The phosphor is arranged in millions of tiny red, green, and blue color dot triads or
stripes in proportion to their intensity and generate light of any color depending
upon the amplitude of the red, green, and blue signals. The electron beam is
scanned or deflected horiontally and vertically in step with the transmitted video
signals. Jeflection signals from the internal sweep circuits drive coils in a
deflection yo"e around the nec" of the picture creating magnetic fields that sweep
the three electron beams.

The horiontal output stage, which provides horiontal sweep,
is also used to operate a flybac" transformer that steps up the
horiontal sync pulses to a very high voltage. These are
rectified and filtered into a 8 to 8'"% voltage to operate the
picture tube. The flybac" also steps down the horiontal
pulses and rectifies and filters them into lowvoltage dcsupplies that are used to operate most of the circuits in the
