Introduction This application note will examine a variety of sync formats and a method for removing the sync pulse from component video signals (see Figure 1). The EL8102 is a single supply Video Op Amp with rail to rail output stage that is ideal for video signal amplification and sync stripping functions. This product was developed for video design engineers who need to remove sync from component RGB (red, green, blue) and monochrome RS-170 video data (see Figure 7). Recently the term RGB has been turned around and called GBR (green, blue, red) as video distribution systems normally put green on channel 1, blue on channel 2 and red on channel 3. This is consistent with the hook-up of the color difference standards.
