Vertical frequency. The vertical scanning frequency is also changed slightly since there must be 262. 5 lines per field. Then the vertical field-scanning frequency is
The slight difference of 0. 06 Hz below 60 Hz has practically no effect on vertical scanning and sync in the receiver, because an oscillator that can be triggered by 60-1 cycle pulses can also be synchronized by 59. 94-Hz Pulses. It should be noted that when the scanning frequencies are shifted slightly for color television, the transmitted sync is also
changed to the new frequencies for # and $
Color frequency. With the horizontal line-scanning frequency chosen ,now the color subcarrier can be determined .This value is made to be the 455th harmonic of $/2:
To obtain this exact frequency, the color oscillator is
crystal-controlled. A typical quartz crystal unit is shown in Fig.5- 20. The multiple of 455 is chosen as an odd number that makes C close to 358 MHz
