Japan and the US both use the same 3.58 Mhz chroma carrier.  Thewe is
onoy one difference between the two.  North American NTSC has a setup
level of 7.5, blacks bottom out 7.5 IRE above blanking, Japan uses 0
IRE setup, meaning blacks on a Japanese program will be darker.  The
latter setup value is the same as the PAL setup standard and that used
on format-standard DVcam.  The two are completely compatible except
for that variation.
