John, I have been doing some research on this subject since our latest Gamma
thread and I found documentation that the NTSC legal colors envelope for D1
component will encompass the entire RGB spectrum. However, the reverse is not
true, ie the complete RGB spectrum can generate some colors which will result
in NTSC illegal colors for non 4:2:2 digital recording process. In other words
an RGB of 255,255,0 would be illegal in NTSC analog but legal when output to
D1. My source on this is from Hewlett – Packard.
