Television Vertical Interval

• 30 times per second, TV monitors scan the screen.  At the end of the scan, the beam moves back to the top (red line.) There are also unused scan lines above the picture (yellow line.) Text can be encoded in this space without affecting the TV picture.

• You could adjust the Vertical Hold on a TV set showing WTBS, moving the yellow line into the visible area, and see Stargate data as dots.
