well, reading a stereo scope is not too hard really. even if you only 
pick out some obvious aspects, it's still useful.

making sense of a video color vectorscope however (never seen an ntsc 
one, but i believe the pal ones have similar output) seems to imply a 
pact with dark forces :-D i'm quite happy that the days of analog video 
are almost over and i don't have to learn that anymore.

now with SDI you get to think about eye diagrams, which is not much 
better :(
