But Wikipedia says this "

And they were able to "compare its color + B&W image" on racetrack control room monitors.
But the B&W monitors were not dual standard back then? (but may have locked up
in 525/60 monochrome tuning the wide range H & V Hold knobs?
(with lots of dotcrawl shifting Gamma
)(no notch filter)
Then on-sight RCA man says "this is as good as any color back home" implying NTSC
(Apples-to-apples comparison - not apples-to-oranges NTSC/PAL)
However, article implies
Dual Standard scan TK-42 image integrated into 625/50 broadcast using its luminance only signal?
But color viewed only as far as studio by 20-mi μwave link. So really closed circuit
as very doubtful ABCB authorized color broadcast?
But chroma & burst may have been sneaked to air, risking heavy fine & banishment to Port Arthur, Tasmania
