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.
