Signal Sampling
1mhz = 2msps of minimum sampling so a 2:1 ratio less is worse more is better mostly.
The best laymans example of this is HiFi 20hz to 20khz (Witch is around the avrage human hearing range) CD audio is digital 44.1khz just over 2:1 sampling, so 48khz covers the entire range of human speach, ware as 192khz would cover an large array of mulitible sound information points like a orchstra.
- kHz is 1000hz
- mHz is a million Hz
- MSPS is million samples per second
Four times the frequency of SC (sub-carrier).
The digital sampling rate of a composite video signal with respect to the sub-carrier frequency of an NTSC or PAL analogue video signal.
The 4fsc frequency sample rate is defined based off full spec composite

A subcarrier is a sideband of a radio frequency carrier wave, which is modulated to send additional information.
Example:
Left 1.3Mhz / Right 1.7mhz
Video8 & High8 HiFi
Left 1.5Mhz / Right 1.7Mhz
Left is 1.38Mhz A head & 1.53Mhz B head
Right is 1.68Mhz A head & 1.83Mhz B head
Examples include the provision of colour in a black and white television system or the provision of stereo in a monophonic radio broadcast. There is no physical difference between a carrier and a subcarrier; the "sub" implies that it has been derived from a carrier, which has been amplitude modulated by a steady signal and has a constant frequency relation to it.
In simple terms, lets say you have a 5mhz signal, inside this you have audio at 1.2mhz for left and 1.8mhz for right 2.2mhz has a timecode signal and 4.5mhz has the video signal all these signals are modulated

The following pages give a clear explanation of what 4fsc, S-Video, and Chroma Sampling are, witch are the core surface concepts to understand the processing chain of software tape decoding and how analogue is presented in the digital domain.
