Sync Generation
Video sync signals are generated by what appears to be a custom Sony chip called the CX 773A (I couldn't find any info about this by googling for it). You can find it on the Bega's Battle schematic called "DSP Control Decode" and it is at position 16K on the bottom PCB (the one with the two BNC outputs).
This custom IC takes in a 14.3182 MHZ clock and five of its output are used.
| Pin | Description | Notes |
| 4 | Composite Sync | Active low. Typical NTSC composite sync. Nothing unusual observed. |
| 6 | SG BLK | Active low. May refer to "signal block" meaning when to prevent computer generated video from going to the monitor. For top field, starts at beginning of line 1 and ends when line 21 begins, and otherwise goes low when HSync goes low (and lasts a little bit longer than HSync pulses). |
| 8 | HSYNC 2 | Active low. Appears to run at a constant 15.73 kHz frequency with no variation. Each line is 63.56 uS long. Each pulse lasts for 6.72 uS. Usually starts a little before csync and ends a little after. |
| 11 | VSYNC 2 | Active low. For top field, starts at the beginning of line 1 and ends at the end of line 9. No apparent delay relative to csync. Each pulse lasts for 0.5721 ms and the frequency is a constant 59.93 Hz, with a period of 16.69 ms. |
| 15 | SC | Appears to match the color burst frequency. Runs at 3.58 MHz. |
