vdeo bandwidth on component output.

[jmann]

Does anyone know the technical specifications for the bandwidth on component video (per each wire) for the standard HD resolutions and frame rates?

I need to know this because
1) if I build an active balun, I need to know the minimum bandwidth requirements of the op amps. and
2) this is how the transformers for baluns are rated.

I am an electrical engineer, so I know what I am asking, I just may not have asked it well. Google searching just has not been able to produce a good answer for me.

In round numbers for studio measurement. Consumer products would be less.

ITU-Rec 601 480i/576i Y Channel 13.5 Ms/s, 6.75 MHz Nyquist for D/A.
Analog component can go out to >9MHz to 15MHz from some cameras (e.g. HD studio camera feeding analog 480i).

480p/576p Y Channel ~ 12-30 MHz+

720p Y Channel ~ 30 MHz+

1080i Y Channel ~ 30 MHz+, Pb Pr ~ 15 MHz

1080p Y Channel ~ 60 MHz+, Pb Pr ~ 30 MHz

480p RGB ~ 12-30 MHz+ per component

1080p RGB ~ 60 MHz+ per component

Op Amps should exceed anticipated signal bandwidth. Tek scopes and probes are flat to 1 GHz.

Very Interesting. Thank your for the link to the Tek Document.

If I have a chance to put some devices on the tek computerized scope at my office, I'll post frequency domain plots.
