Noun
colorburst (uncountable)
(television) A generated video signal used to keep the chrominance subcarrier synchronized in a color television signal.
A later form of Macrovision's analog copy protection, called Level II ACP, introduced multiple 180-degree phase inversions to the analog signal's colorburst. Source: Internet
"Level II" Macrovision uses a process called "colorstriping," which inverts the analog signal's colorburst period and causes off-color bands to appear in the picture. Source: Internet
It is not possible to reliably display 256 dots across the screen due to the limitations of the NTSC signal and the phase relationship between the VDG clock and colorburst frequency. Source: Internet
It used a clock frequency of 4.77 MHz (4/3 the NTSC colorburst frequency). Source: Internet
Generators of composite video signals (such as NTSC and PAL ) will also include a colorburst signal as part of the output. Source: Internet
Later, blue and orange became available by tweaking the offset of the pixels by half a pixel-width in relation to the colorburst signal. Source: Internet
