Betacam certainly isn't "color-over" (it's not _that_ good); think of it as "color-on-par" <g>. Color-under is just an expression that means the color signal is being squashed into a lower-than-normal bandwidth. That's why when you examine an image from a dub using two color-under formats, the color often looks like someone did a messy watercolor job on a sharp B/W photo; the color tinting that is added to the basic B/W image follows the details less acuurately… it has a lower resolution. -Chris CNR Media Services
