Final Report: Subcommittee on Color Video Processing Amplifiers

As part of an industry study by an Ad Hoc Committee for the Joint Committee for Intersociety Coordination into color TV transmission and reception problems resulting in color differences, a subcommittee, under the auspices of the National Association of Broadcasters, made a study of the possible contributing effect being made by the use of Color Video Processing Amplifiers. The committee study indicates that four or more color video processing amplifiers may be used between the point of origination and the TV transmitter. Cumulative errors in two or more processing amplifiers in cascade can result in signal distortion. Minimized use of color processing amplifiers appears to be in order and is recommended by the committee.
