| (NTSC subcarrier frequency is 3.579545 MHz, or 1 cycle or subcarrier every 0.0000002793 seconds. | ||||
| That's one full cycle or 360 degrees, so 1 degree of subcarriers 0.000000000776 seconds or 0.776 nanoseconds. | ||||
| These numbers have been rounded off, but accuracy here is enough to time a video system within .025 degrees.) | ||||
