Effect

Ntsc

NTSC composite colour bleed, softness and signal character.

NTSC colour television encoded chroma with limited bandwidth so colour could ride alongside luminance in a composite signal. The side effects were soft colour, dot crawl and rainbow fringing at sharp edges.

Those artefacts became part of the American and Japanese television look for decades. Recreating them signals broadcast tape and living-room CRT nights.
