So alternatively, this is as good as VIR insomuch as there should be no guesswork for the tech before adding new VIR before transmission, as all he has to do is line up the color bars in the vectorscope avoiding subjectivity.

And since, by 1975, NTSC still had 40 more years (counting cable), LSI chips could have been produced for consumer TVs to either derive reference from V.I. colorbars or VIR and making this the default mode of the receivers - keeping consumers' fingers away from contrast and tint - if not also saturation - knobs!
