Glossary Term
A method of conveying or storing a video signal where the luma and chroma elements are combined together into a single signal. Used in NTSC and PAL. Labeled as Composite, CVBS or Video (on consumer equipment). The most common signal connection on analog consumer equipment, like TV's, VCR's and consumer video cameras. Lowest quality color resolution in use today. Not acceptable for post production needs like chroma keying, as the combined luma and chroma signals can not be accurately or precisely decoded. Display on television is also less than ideal as the signal needs to be decoded/converted back into red, green and blue intensities for display.
