Yes Frank you are correct,

I will use the proper term amplitude not saturation.

Frank, is it 130IRE or 133IRE? (I see 133 everywhere.)

hehehe….all this discussion and I once worked with an engineer who swore time and time again that color bars are worthless, they don’t tell you anything. Until the day our then-owner saw a spot on air that was so hot the video was tearing….it looked good on the editing monitors….and since the owner was the one that conceived the spot he took it personally. The next day we had a waveform monitor and vectorscope installed in the edit bay, the first ever for that station. (And the one in master control was hooked up and checked as well).
