The MUSE System in Action

Color Bar Waveforms

The following images were taken using chapter 3 of 00MW-0009 The Test Disc, played back with a Sony HIL-C2EX, and decoded with a Sony MST-2000. They were photographed from the screen of a Hewlett-Packard 1740A analog oscilloscope with a rated bandwidth of 100 MHz, and a rated input impedance of 1 Megohm.

The order of the bars is White, Yellow, Cyan, Green, Magenta, Red, Blue, Black. White is 100%, but the remaining colors are not 100% (not specified).
