Everything about Color burst

Synchronisation signal in colour video

The color burst is one part of the composite sync used in analog television signals. It consists of a "packet" of the sine wave chroma subcarrier and is used as a reference to decode color information in the video. By synchronizing an oscillator with the color burst at the back porch (beginning) of each scan line, a television receiver is able to restore the suppressed carrier of the chrominance (color) signals, and in turn decode the color information.
