A circuit for linearizing analog-to-digital output is shown in Figure 2, with an analog signal V i transmitted by input circuit 10 is applied to an input port of an analog-to-digital converter 12 controlled by a sampling signal V s , to provide digital data V d on an "N" bit data bus 14. An analog-to-digital linearizing memory 16 storing a look-up table of digital values, is coupled to bus 14 to receive the digital data V d , and to respond to the digital data V d by providing true linear digital values from the look-up table to digital data processing system DSP 20 via an "N" bit data bus 18. A microprocessor 22 is temporarily coupled between the output port of converter 12 and the input port of memory 16 via bus 14, to serve as a switch between bus 14 and a programming memory 24 containing a table of true linear digital values V t . A known test signal is applied to input circuit 10, and true linear digital values V t stored in programming memory 24, are then read into linearizing memory 16 to provide an accurate and reliable relation to a characteristic such as the amplitude of each step of the known test signal over the entire range of the known test signal.

Apparatus and a method is disclosed for encoding, transmitting and decoding of one or two auxiliary or control signals on a phase alternating carrier. The phase alternating carrier is generated such that, in a given frame, it is in-phase on one scan line, and out-of-phase on the next scan line relative to the conventional chroma carrier. The (I and Q) chroma information is modulated on the chroma carrier in a conventional form to generate a chroma signal. The phase alternating carrier is modulated with one or two auxiliary signals in a similar fashion. The encoded phase alternating carrier is then added to the modulated chroma carrier (chroma signal), and processed in the chroma channel for recording on a magnetic tape. A decoder or playback apparatus processes the chroma channel to decode the two modulated carriers. The modulated chroma carrier (chroma signal) is decoded in a conventional demodulator to recover the chroma (I and Q) information. The encoded phase alternating carrier is decoded to recover the original auxiliary signals. The auxiliary signals may be digital audio signals or motion signals indicative of motion in the scenes.

An improved video signal recording system for recording a full bandwidth video signal on a limited bandwidth medium includes an encoder 10, coupled to an input terminal 5, for adaptively processing a composite video signal in response to a motion representative signal, and producing two signals; a luminance signal L f , having attenuated high frequencies subsampled so as to be folded into a spectral hole in the low frequencies, and being bandwidth limited to the limited bandwidth of the recording medium, and a combined signal C+M r including a chrominance and a motion component. Luminance signal recording circuitry 20 records the folded luminance signal on the medium, and chrominance signal recording circuitry records the combined chrominance and motion signal on the medium. An improved video signal playback system for reproducing such a prerecorded video signal is also disclosed. The playback system consists of a luminance signal playback circuit 60 for retrieving the prerecorded luminance signal L pb from the medium, and a chrominance signal playback circuit 80 for retrieving the prerecorded combined chrominance and motion signal C+M from the medium. A decoder 70 extracts the motion signal and the chrominance signal from the combined chrominance and motion signal and an unfolding circuit extracts the luminance high frequencies from the prerecorded folded luminance signal and adaptively regenerates the full bandwidth luminance signal in response to the motion signal. This regenerated full bandwidth luminance signal is combined with the chrominance signal to reproduce the originally recorded composite video signal. A recording medium previously recorded by such a recording system is capable of being played back on a standard playback system without objectionable artifacts in the reproduced image.
