The GE chromacoder was a jury-rigged system to convert CBS field sequential to RCA NTSC after we switched from CBS to RCA color encoding formats. Once that switch occurred CBS system users briefly used the chromacoder to get use out of their very expensive CBS cameras till those cameras broke down.
The chromacoder had sub-NTSC picture quality so as soon as stations could afford and justify replacing CBS color cameras/chromacoders with proper NTSC cameras they did.
