A Laboratory Receiver for Study of the NTSC Color Television System

The paper describes in detail, with suitable block and circuit diagrams, the operation of a laboratory color television receiver fulfilling the present NTSC standards. The receiver consists of the video signal source and monochrome monitor, the color decoder system, the color synchronization system, local subcarrier oscillator, the horizontal and vertical deflection system, the high voltage (second anode and focus) and convergence system, and the tricolor tube's mount. Also, an additional color decoder is described which will permit the operation of color slave units in addition to the main color receiver.
