6. Time base stability at playback speeds different
     from the nominal value

6.3 Vertical synchronizing signal
Figures
1. Signal transition (one field) - One head is used per
     scan
2. Signal transitions (one field) = More than one head
     is used per scan
3. Test arrangement for checking the distortion of the
     synchronizing signal due to signal transitions
     during playback in 'trick'-mode

Specifies the time base errors of the monochrome as well as of the colour composite video signal reproduced from two head helical-scan domestic video recorders, recording one field on each track. This standard gives characteristics and maximum figures of the time base errors to make it possible to design the horizontal flywheel of television receivers so as to ensure stability on the screen.
