(h) Section B: Answer briefly all questions. [5 X .5 = 2.5]

1. Why is scanning necessary in television system?

(i) Answer:
(j) Scanning is the important process carried out in a television system in order to obtain continuous
frames and provides motion of picture. The scene is scanned both in the horizontal and vertical
directions simultaneously in a rabid rate.
(k) As a result sufficient number of complete picture of frames per second is obtained to give the
illusion of continuous motion.
(l)
2. What is the main function of the blanking pulses?
(m) Answer:
(n) The composite video signal consist of blanking pulses to make the retrace lines invisible by
increasing the signal amplitude little above the black level of 75 percent during the time scanning
the circuits develop retrace.
(o)
3. Distinguish between hue and saturation.
(p) Answer:
Hue or tint can be defined as the predominant spectral color of the received light. The color of any object is
distinguished by its hue or tint.
(q) Saturation refers to the spectral purity of the color light. It indicates the degree by which the color is
diluted by white.
(r)
4. What are weighting factors of color-plexed composite video signals?
(s) Answer:
The color plexed composite video signals amplitude exceeds the 100% modulation. So, it is not
practicable to transmit this combined signal waveform.
If over modulation occurs, the reproduced colors will be distorted. So, to avoid over modulation the
amplitude of the color difference signals should be reduced.
Both (R-Y) and (B-Y) signals are multiplied by some factor to reduce the amplitude. This multiplying
factor is known as weighting factor.
The weighting factor for R-Y signal is 0.877
The weighting factor for B-Y signal is 0.493.
The amplitude of the y signal should not be reduced. If it is done the brightness of the picture will be
reduced.
