Subcarrier Programming
The color subcarrier is produced by an internal 32 bit digital 
frequency synthesizer which is completely programmable in 
frequency and phase. Separate registers, FREQx, SYSPHx, 
BSTPHx, are provided for phase adjustment of the color 
burst and of the active video, permitting external delay com-
pensation, color adjustment, etc. FREQx is the subcarrier 
phase step per pixel and SYSPHx is phase offset at field 1, 
line 1 (line 4 for NTSC), pixel 1.
NTSC Subcarrier
For NTSC encoding, the subcarrier synthesizer frequency 
has a simple relationship to the pixel clock period, repeating 
over 2 lines: The decimal value for the subcarrier phase step 
is:
Where the number of pixels/line is:
This value must be converted to binary and split into four 8 
bit registers, FREQM, FREQ2, FREQ3, and FREQL. 
PAL Subcarrier
The PAL relationship is more complex, repeating only once 
in 8 fields (the well-known 25 Hz offset):
This value must be converted to binary and split as described 
previously for NTSC. The number of pixels/line is found as 
in NTSC.
PAL-M Subcarrier
SYSPHx establishes the appropriate phase relationship 
between the internal synthesizer and the chroma modulator. 
The nominal value for SYSPHx is zero.
Other values for SYSPHx must be converted to binary and 
split into two 8 bit registers, SYSPHM and SYSPHL.
Burst Phase (BURPHx) sets up the correct relative NTSC 
modulation angle. The value for BURPH is:
BURPHx = SYSPHx
This value must be converted to binary and split into two 8 
bit registers, BURPHM and BURPHL.
