Re: Improve Video Counter???



Bryan--

  I have trouble interpreting your postings, but one thing you say is
clearly wrong. NTSC is an analog broadcast format. It does not have
any kind of hard integer limit on the number of colors it can support.
The only limit on the  possible color differences is set by the analog
fidelity of the color burst and the chrominance modulation, as well as
the "gamut" or range of color space that is covered by the standard.

  Now, any digital circuit that tries to generate NTSC color will have
some limit. But that is an issue of the particular circuit, not NTSC.
