Circuit Description
EN 56 L01.2E AB9.
HP Headphone
Hue Colour phase control for NTSC (not
the same as ‘Tint’)
I Monochrome TV system. Sound
carrier distance is 6.0 MHz
I
2
C Integrated IC bus
IF Intermediate Frequency
IIC Inter IC bus
Interlaced Scan mode where two fields are used
to form one frame. Each field contains
half the number of the total amount of
lines. The fields are written in “pairs”,
causing line flicker.
