NABTS , the North American Broadcast Teletext Specification , is a protocol used for encoding NAPLPS encoded teletext pages, as well as other types of digital data, within the vertical blanking interval VBI of an analog video signal. It is standardized under standard EIA 516, and has a rate of 15.6 kbit s per line of video with error correction . History NABTS was originally developed as a protocol by the Canadian Department of Communications Canada Department of Communications , with their industry partner Norpak , for the Telidon system. Similar systems had been developed by the BBC in Europe for their Ceefax system, and were later standardized as the World System Teletext WST, aka CCIR Teletext System B , but differences in European and North American television standards and the greater flexibility of the Telidon standard led to the creation of a new delivery mechanism that was tuned for speed. NABTS was the standard used for both Columbia Broadcasting System CBS s ExtraVision and NBC s very short lived NBC Teletext services in the mid 1980s. Due to teletext in general not really catching on in North America, NABTS saw a new use for the datacasting features of MSN TV WebTV for Windows , under Windows 98 , as well as for the now defunct Intercast system. NABTS is still used for private closed circuit television closed circuit data delivery over a television Broadcasting broadcast or video signal, and Canadian company Norpak still sells and manufactures encoder s and decoder s for NABTS. Description In a normal NTSC video signal there are 525 lines of video signal. These are split into two half images, known as fields , sent every 60th of a second. These images merge on screen, and in eye, to form a single frame of video updated every 30th of a second. Each line of each field takes 63.5 s to send 50.3 s of video and 13.2 s amount of dead time on each end used to signal the television that the line is complete, known as the horizontal blanking interval .
