My wife heard about this system, and I'd like to go see it in operation. As we know, the fundamentals of color TV since the CBS-RCA war in the 50s ended with Tyrant (oops; I mean General) Sarnoff's tri-color kinescope winning, we've been on the RGB standard worldwide. Maybe someone with engineering background could offer more, but I'm thinking there's no way to demodulate a 4th color, not to mention that every studio camera and every media player would be incompatible with a 4-color system.

Heck, if it can work, how 'bout I put a 3rd demodulator tube in my Zenith roundie, and call it the y minus y demodulator. But wait, since y=luminance in the RGB system, what the heck would we call the yellow subcarrier????

Yes, I'm poking fun.
