The link I gave was for section 7 (Glossary & Appendices) of a booklet
titled "NTSC Systems Television Measurements" from Tektronix. Look at the
bottom of each page on my original link and you'll find page 71.
A link to all 7 sections is at http://tinyurl.com/bxnhr .
As far as the NTSC signal is concerned, a consumer camcorder has to follow
the same blanking rules as the most expensive broadcast model. CCD
charging/dumping or whatever is a completely different issue which I'm not
knowledgeable enough to comment on.
