Could NTSC VIR = PAL

[NewVista]

I think I've solved the problem for RCA's original NTSC spec with a better implementation:
Just have colorburst for almost a whole line period in the last serrated segment of the field sync pulse
at ~50% luminance level(like GE-VIR) (picture level of light complexions.)

This gives nice clean, long duration subcarrier reference every sixtieth of a second (like VIR) (no burst every line needed)(who gives a flip about airplane-flutter.)

Then 1950s era receivers simply run separated vert sync thru a HPF to obtain subcarrier phase reference (no countdown circuit chips required 1970s VIR)
