Luminance (Y)
(10 bit video; quantization levels 0 to 1023)
Spans 877 quantization levels, with black (0 mV) corre-
sponding to level 64 and peak white (700 mV) correspond-
ing to level 940.
B–Y and R–Y Spans 897 quantization levels in the center of the quantiza-
tion scale. Level 512 corresponds to 0 mV, level 64 to –350
mV, and level 960 to +350 mV.
NOTE. Performance Requirements in the following tables are valid
only if the instrument has been adjusted at approximately 25° C, is
being operated within environmental limits (see Table 11), and has
had a minimum warm-up of 20 minutes.
