Abstract
The chapter reviews the video timing, and the analog and digital representations of various video formats, including 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. They come in a wide variety of options, number of scan lines, interlaced vs. progressive, analog vs. digital, and so on. The chapter provides an overview of the common video signal formats and their timing. In a digital component video, the video signals are in digital form (YCbCr or R'G'B'), being encoded to composite National Television System Committee (NTSC), Phase Alternation Line (PAL), or Sequential Color with Memory (SECAM) only when it is necessary for broadcasting or recording purposes. For 8-bit systems, the values of 00H and FFH are reserved for timing information. For 10-bit systems, the values of 000H-003H and 3FCH-3FFH are reserved for timing information, to maintain compatibility with 8-bit systems.
