#NTSC Legal Colors
Greg:
>>The technical way of putting it is that a black video signal is defined at a
level of 7.5IRE (0.05V) above the blanking level.
It can't be as easy as keeping the material of any one object above 7.5IRE,
right? IRE must me some kind of average or mixture of any one frame that
determines this level for the video signal.
You would have to consider not only the material, but also the lighting to stay
above the 7.5 IRE, right?
If 0,0,0 is illegal, then 1,1,1 may also be illegal. If this is true, then is
there some level that you would start feeling comfortable?
If a material has say 20,30,100 one could say this material has black at a
level of 20,20,20 being that there is atleast 20 units of each color?
Am I lost in deep space, I feel as thou I'm slipping away <grin>. Do you know
if the book "Desktop Computer Animation" would explain what I'm trying to ask?
