NTSC Vertical Scales

The NTSC graticule is shown in Figure 4-1. The left side of
the graticule is scaled in IRE units and extends from --50 to
+120 IRE in 10 IRE increments. A mV scale has been added
to the right side of the NTSC graticule to facilitate compo-
nent measurements.

Black level setup is denoted by a dashed line at 7.5 IRE.

There are

± 2 IRE and ± 4 IRE markings at the center of the

--40 IRE line to assist in measuring sync amplitude. This

scale is designed for use with two line or two field sweep
rates.

The graticules are also marked for K--Factor tolerances and
linear-distortion measurements. These measurements will be
described later in this section.
