Abstract

In a Multiplexed Analog Component (MAC) color television transmission system in which the MAC signal is to be converted at the receiver to a composite color television signal having a 227.5 fH color subcarrier, frequency-generation equipment required at the receiver is simplified by selecting the various frequencies in accordance with the following relationship,where:f0 is the master clock frequency,f1 is the luminance sampling frequency,f2 is the chrominance sampling frequency,f4 is the MAC sampling frequency, fH is the horizontal line frequency, andn and k are positive integers.
