well, reading a stereo scope is not too hard really. even if you only
pick out some obvious aspects, it's still useful.
making sense of a video color vectorscope however (never seen an ntsc
one, but i believe the pal ones have similar output) seems to imply a
pact with dark forces :-D i'm quite happy that the days of analog video
are almost over and i don't have to learn that anymore.
now with SDI you get to think about eye diagrams, which is not much
better :(
