William Feingold · Transactions of the IRE Professional Group on Broadcast and Television Receivers · 1953
Although the technical aspects of color television are more complex than the monochrome version, this article will show, by a simplified step-by-step approach, that the fundamental make-up of the NTSC (National Television System Committee) color television signal is easily understood, as well as efficient and ingenious. The electronic engineer to whom color television is a new area of thought should find this elementary treatment an ideal introduction to the more detailed articles which have appeared in print.
