A-MAC


A-MAC carries the digital information: sound, data-teletext on an FM subcarrier at 7 MHz. Since the vision bandwidth of a standard MAC signal is 8.4 MHz, the horizontal resolution on A-MAC has to be reduced to make room for the 7 MHz carrier. A-MAC has not been used in service.

Technical details

MAC transmits luminance and chrominance data separately in time rather than separately in frequency.
