Encyclopedia > Tint control

Because the NTSC color television standard is susceptible to color errors, there is a tint control on NTSC television sets, which allows the image hue to be corrected. This control was traditionally a knob, but on modern sets it is mostly available through a menu (OSD). NTSC is the analog television system in use in Korea, Japan, United States, Canada and certain other places, mostly in the Americas (see map). ... e gradation of color; for the city in Vietnam, see Huế. A hue refers to the gradation of color within the optical spectrum, or visible spectrum, of light. ... On-screen display (OSD) is a way modern TVs, and devices connected to TVs (like VCRs and DVD players), can display information directly on the TV screen. ...


The control allows the image to be adjusted between a green and a violet tint, with the correct hue lying somewhere in between. Dynamic adjustment may be needed in case of an antenna signal, because the path of the signal changes according to atmospheric conditions. The tint can oscillate during a storm. If the signal travels a fixed path, e.g. from a cable television network or a DVD player, dynamic adjustment should not be necessary. Look up green in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... Violet (named after the flower violet) refers to any of a group of reddish blue or bluish purple colors. ... A yagi antenna Most simply, an antenna (U.S.) or aerial (UK) is an electronic component designed to transmit or receive radio waves. ... Layers of Atmosphere (NOAA) Earths atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth and retained by the Earths gravity. ... Coaxial cable is often used to transmit cable television into the house Cable television or Community Antenna Television (CATV) (often shortened to cable) is a system of providing television, FM radio programming and other services to consumers via radio frequency signals transmitted directly to people’s televisions through fixed optical... DVD-R writing/reading side DVD-R with purple dye, 4. ...


Fixing NTSC's tint problems was the primary technical objective during the development of the European PAL and SECAM color television standards. TV sets for these standards have no tint control. For other meanings of PAL see PAL (disambiguation). ... SÉCAM (Séquentiel couleur à mémoire, French for sequential colour with memory) is an analog color television system first used in France. ...

Phase control circuit suitable for use in a tint control stage of a color television system - Patent 4051519 (5179 words)
Transistors 142 and 144 in turn are controlled as a function of the control voltage applied from tint control potentiometer 52 to the base of transistor 142 and the emitter of transistor 144 via terminal 4, follower transistor 160 and bias resistors 154, 155.
Resistor 237 of tint control stage 200 couples the P signal to that end of resistor 235 which is remote from the base input of transistor 234 of amplifier 230.
Moreover, control circuits 140 and 240 may comprise emitter coupled differential amplifier stages, and the roles of the amplifier stages 110, 130 and 210, 230 and the associated control circuits 140 and 240 may be reversed.
