#calculate the level of video signals
#given
# In the given problem,a video signal has 50% of the maximum luminance level
#A black setup level of  7.5 IRE represents zero luminance,and 100 IRE is max brightness.
#Therefore the range from min to max luminnance has 100-7.5=92.5 units.
#Therefore the level is
#calculations
IRE = 7.5 + (0.5 * 92.5)

#calculate the horizontal, vertical blanking occupies
# part a) horizontal blanking
# Horizontal blanking occupies approximately 10 us of the 63.5 us duration of each line,
#given
Hztl_blnk = 10 / 63.5 * 100
#calculations and results

# part b) vertical blanking
# Vertical blanking occupies approximately 21 lines per field or 42 lines per
# frame.  A frame has 525 lines altogether,so
Vert_blnk = 42. / 525 * 100
print 'vertical blanking occupies',Vert_blnk,'%','of the signal'
# part c) active signal
# since 8% of the time is lost in vertical blanking, 92% of the time is
# involved in the tansmission of the active lines.
act_vid = (100 - Hztl_blnk) * (100 - Vert_blnk) / 100

Horizontal blanking occupies 15.75 % of the signal
vertical blanking occupies 8.0 % of the signal
The active video is 77.51 %

#All modern Rx uses a picture IF of 45.75 MHz with high-side injection of the signal into the cable.
# The picture carrier of channel 6 is at a frequency of 83.25MHz,so
