<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I believe the Modulated Pedestal test signal was
developed by Tektronics in the early days of color transmission.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Pink Panther nickname comes from the 3 bands of
progressively higher amplitude color on a 50% luminance as it appears on a
monitor - pink-ish.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many of the common TV test signals had their own
little nicknames. Grayscale - chip chart; 15 step gray scale - staircase;
etc etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anybody know of more? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The RCA TR-70 had a sampling circuit called the
Hamlet Pulse Generator in the CATC looking for a colorburst. "To pulse
or not to pulse, that is the question!"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That appeared in the training manuals for the 70A
and the 61.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone know why the figure of the Modulated
Pedestal Signal in the VPR-80 Service Manual (Part II Section 3, Video System)
in the -03 version of the manual was originally titled Pink Panther Pulse
in the -01 version of the manual?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Recalling the original cartoon series I used to
watch as a kid, didn't our character ascend some steps outside a night club or
similar in the title sequence? Maybe that's the
connection... </FONT></DIV>
