CCIR System G


CCIR System G, also known as the "Gerber Standard", is an analog broadcast television system used in sixty countries around the world for UHF channels. System G is generally associated with System B for VHF.
At a CCIR Geneva meeting in July 1950, Dr. Gerber, proposed a modified 625-lines system with a 7 MHz channel bandwidth. Known as the "Gerber Standard", it was initially approved for VHF broadcasts, and eventually adapted for UHF.
Usually paired with PAL colour, it was also used with SECAM in Egypt, Iran, and Saudi Arabia.

Specifications

Some of the important specs are listed below:
A frame is the total picture. The frame rate is the number of pictures displayed in one second. But each frame is actually scanned twice interleaving odd and even lines. Each scan is known as a field So field rate is twice the frame rate. In each frame there are 625 lines So line rate is 625 times the frame frequency or 625×25=15625 Hz.
The RF parameters of the transmitted signal are exactly the same as those for System B which is used on the 7.0 MHz wide channels of the VHF bands. The only difference is the width of the guard band between the channels, which on System G is 1.0 MHz wider than for System B: in other words 1.15 MHz.

System H

A few countries use a variant of system G which is known as System H. System H is similar to system G but the lower side band is 500 kHz wider. This makes much better use of the 8.0 MHz channels of the UHF bands by reducing the width of the guard-band by 500 kHz to the still perfectly generous value of 650 kHz.
