Composite Video
Sometimes Called Color Under
Signals Are Combined (Encoded)
Other Equipment Must Decode It
*** NOTE:
Each Piece of Video Equipment Used (i.e. VCRs) Must Decode and Re-Encode the signal Each Time
Television Sets Must Decode the Signal
This Process of Constantly Decoding and Encoding Results in Signal Degradation
Developed to Squeeze Color Information into the Same Broadcast Bandwidth Used for Black and White TV
