'''Colorburst''' is an [[analog video|analog]] and [[composite video]] signal generated by a [[video-signal generator]] used to keep the [[chrominance subcarrier]] synchronized in a [[color television]] signal. By synchronizing an [[oscillator]] with the colorburst at the [[Analog television#Structure of a video signal|back porch]] (beginning) of each [[scan line]], a television receiver is able to restore the suppressed carrier of the [[chrominance]] (color) signals, and in turn decode the color information. The most common use of colorburst is to [[genlock]]  equipment together as a common reference with a [[vision mixer]] in a [[television studio]] using a [[multi-camera setup]].
