I still think it's notable that the fault happens across a small, yet contiguous range of channels, but leaves the all rest alone survives channel flipping (i.e. I can channel surf all I want and the effect only affects the specific channels) doesn't flicker in or out but stays steady for the...

Guys, it's CGI. These kinds of Marble Madness videos are all over the innertoobs. This one is actually labeled "CGI animation":

In retrospet, I did have the opportunity, since my neice was in the room next door. I didn;t think of it at the time. I'll take your word for it. That post is dense with words I do not know. I did not realize it was this complicated. No. that was just a hypothetical I was using in leiu of...

Hard to assume it's a celestial object. Could be a spider in a web in the foreground for all we know. But let's pretend it's actually celestial. I assume your Seestar has autotrkacing. What were you pointing at? What is the object you were tracking? What mag are you set at? A stationary object...

So it seems we know the where the colour flip can happen - does that tell us anything about how it could happen? I still don't know the format of the actual colour data, and how it could get flipped, especially only temporarily (for less than a half hour at a time before fixing itself).

I mean I am asking about this because I do not understand how TV signals work. As I said in the post that you responded to: In other words, it was not at all illuminating for the layperson. Well, except for the diagram I posted in that post, which seems to suggest I was right about white...

No. Thats why I'm asking! (I mean, the suggestion that NTSC is the protocol to look at is new to me.) I read the technical primer section on Wiki but OMG it just rambles. It looks like the significant point may be seen on this diagram: As I suspected, the luminance data is distinct from the...

Yes. The b/w values are unaffected; only the hues are reversed. This is what I"m trying to get at, yes.

Do you perhaps mean causalities? Or do you really mean casualties?

I think it's a joke. A pun. (Or maybe a bona fide typo...)

I did a lot of research. My top priority was a fast startup to catch those spontaneous opportunities. I splurged on a 3rd party underwater housing. About $260. Happy to oblige! Here's just a tiny smattering. You can see em all at: http://www.davesbrain.ca/adventures/index.html?filter=diving...

Perhaps I'm picking nits here but if it is a "given" that there can't be a common third factor, that suggests to me this is a thought experiment, not a real-world scenario. Is it possible in a real world scenario to declare there is not a common third factor? (I guess if the red data is from...

Sorry I didn't make this clear: what I'm really interested in is the technical aspect. This is a science observation; not a thing to be fixed. I would not have been surprised if the entire signal was flipped, so that a white values are black and green hue is magenta. i.e. this makes sense to...

We were at a resort. Not about to go bangin' on the doors of other hotel guests and asking in broken Spanish if I can watch their TV... It would be kind of wierd, don't you think, for only a select half-dozen contiguous channels to be affected, and stay this way for a half hour - while all...

Personally, I have a Canon G15. Goes with me everywhere (including to the bottom of the sea). My philosophy is: the 'best' camera is the one you have with you.
