There are several different types of video signal generators in widespread use. Regardless of the specific type, the output of a video generator will generally contain synchronization signals appropriate for television, including horizontal and vertical sync pulses (in analog) or sync words (in digital). Generators of <i>composite</i> video signals (such as <a href="/facts/NTSC/HYWIvxCR">NTSC</a> and <a href="/facts/PAL/t8TugcxK">PAL</a>) will also include a <a href="/facts/Colorburst/Ft9WqAKq">colorburst</a> signal as part of the output.
