On NTSC Video, Blue Blurring, Chroma Subsampling

NEOGEOman writes "Something I've been fascinated with for a long time is video signals. On my website I've spent over six years collecting video and other hacks for game consoles. I've recently put together the fourth revision of my video signal primer and it's expanded to six pages now, including strange subjects like chroma subsampling, horizontal colour resolution and rather interesting revelation: your eyes suck at blue."

    To top it off, the guy who apparently owns the website (gamesx.com) runs (or ran?) a console game rental store in my home town, and used to date my sister!

    Date. Yeah. That's it.

    What about blueberries and smurfs?

    As the greatest philosopher of our time, George Carlin pointed out: "Blueberries? You know they're purple. Blue cheese? That's just white cheese with a bunch of mold in it. And a bluefish? You cut one of them open, and they're every color of the rainbow."

    Smurfs are poisonous, thus don't count.

    Yeah, that's me. I did own a gamestore, Traci's on the hood of her car in front of the store in fact. ...

    Who's your sister? =)

    I actually chose this image because it was more or less neutral, with a primarily white/grey image. All the other images I have of Traci have far, far more flesh colours in them. ...

    I've said too much.

    Until a pack of them attacks and tries to eat you.

    Never The Same Color twice.

    Actually, it's Never Twice the Same Color. A little less of proper English, but the initialism works cleaner.

    We have much better ways of distinguishing whether they're editable

    Sure. You could click on them to give them focus. If they're editable, you'll get a carrot.
