Sub-carrier (SC). - Also known as SC: 3.58 MHz for NTSC, 4.43 MHz for PAL. These are the
basic signals in all NTSC and PAL sync signals. It is a continuous sine wave, usually generated
and distributed at 2V in amplitude, and having a frequency of 3.579545 MHz (NTSC) and
4.43361875 MHz (PAL). Sub-carrier is usually divided down from a primary crystal running at
14.318180 MHz, for example, in NTSC, and that divided by 4 is 3.579545. Similar with PAL. All
other synchronizing signals are directly divided down from sub-carrier.
S-VHS. - Super VHS format in video recording. A newer standard proposed by JVC, preserving the
downwards compatibility with the VHS format. It offers much better horizontal resolution up to 400
TV lines. This is mainly due to the color separation techniques, high-quality video heads and better
tapes. S-VHS is usually associated with Y/C separated signals.
Sync. - Short for synchronization pulse.
Sync generator (sync pulse generator, SPG). - Device that generates synchronizing pulses
needed by video source equipment to provide proper equipment video signal timing. Pulses
typically produced by a sync generator could be sub-carrier, burst flag, sync, blanking, H and V
drives and color black. Most commonly used in CCTV are H and V drives.
