On NTSC Video, Blue Blurring, Chroma Subsampling 308
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."

What you say is fascinating, but beyond the scope of my tiny little primer which aimed to prove one point (And I think succeeded). As for the chart I linked to, you might be best to take up your crusade with them.

According to the histogram the colours are very nearly the same but for some variation in the highs.
What you say is irrelevant for the discussion, really, because a digital camera also uses JPG compression which, as we've discussed, creates a high-res green and low-res red + blue image. That's the other reason I resampled it, it negates the JPG effects and creates a (very lovely) new image without effects from the CCD or JPG compression.
Does that satisfy you?
