"Temps de retour de balayage" et "temps de suppression" ne sont pas des synonymes parfaits. Les deux représentent la même durée puisque pendant le retour du faisceau le signal vidéo est supprimé. Le temps de retour désigne le temps que prend le spot pour revenir de la fin d'une ligne ou d'une trame au début de la ligne ou trame suivante, tandis que le temps de suppression indique la période de temps pendant laquelle le signal vidéo est supprimé. 3, record 2, French, - temps%20de%20retour%20de%20balayage
