Where do I find a description of the NTSC and RS-170 standards for video? I am working with a CCD camera that has 790x485 pixels, and is supplying NTSC output. I'm digitizing it with 3 DataCube Digimax A/D which accept RS-170 input at 10 MHz 512x480 image size. This is fine until I start trying to calculate the positions of pixels, etc. So I think I'm basically getting a 790x485 stream of pixels that's being chopped up into 512x480 pixels by the digitizer, which gives some blurring of pixels. I don't want to get deeply into the spec, I just want to know what the respective waveforms look like. Is there some textbook that talks about problems like this? OK, this isn't strictly graphics, but it's related, and I don't see another more suitable group. Don't flame on, just redirect me if you can. Direct email would be preferable to net response, since I don't think this group is primarily interested in this. Mike Howard howard@aic.hrl.hac.com Hughes Research Labs, Malibu, CA
