摘要:
A clamp system for use in a television receiver having tuner (16) and auxiliary (14) video sources, comprises an IF AGC and video detector circuit (43) having an AGC reference voltage input (REF V2) and an auxiliary video input signal clamp circuit (66) having a reference voltage input (REF V5). The detector circuit and the clamp circuit are each formed on a common integrated circuit (30) along with a video switch (42) for selecting video signals provided by said detector and clamp circuits. The integrated circuit further includes a reference voltage source (62) and a bias generator (60) for deriving the AGC reference voltage and the auxiliary input signal clamp voltage from the common source.

A signal source (SV) applies a signal having a fixed low frequency modulation added thereto through a capacitor (CS) to a line (L) to which is connected a first clamping means comprising a first voltage controlled current amplifier or transconductor (A1), a second input of which receives a reference voltage (VR1). The transconductor (A1) output is applied through a first switch means (S1) to the line (L) which switch means (S1) is periodically closed during a defined clamp period in the signal. A filter (BP) is also connected to the line (L) having a pass band centred on the frequency of the modulation which periodically samples the signal during the clamp period. The filter (BP) output is applied to a second transconductor (A2) having a transconductance greater than that of the first transconductor (A1) a second input of which receives a second reference voltage (VR2). The output of the second transconductance (A2) is applied through second switch means (S2) to the line L periodically closed during a defined period in said signal other than the clamp signal.

The clamp circuit of the present invention includes a comparator 9, a pulse signal generating circuit 10, an integrating circuit 12 and a subtractor 17. The comparator 9 compares a composite video signal with a threshold potential and detects a composite synchronizing signal. The pulse signal generating circuit 10 generates pulse signals S1 and S2 showing which of the detected composite synchronizing signal and a reference time period (t) is larger. The integrating circuit 12 corrects a threshold potential in response to the pulse signals S1 and S2 such that the pulse width of the horizontal synchronizing signal of the composite video signal corresponds to the reference time period t. The subtractor 17 subtracts the threshold potential from the composite video signal, so as to fix the DC level of the composite video signal at a prescribed potential. Since a threshold potential which makes constant the pulse width of the synchronizing pulse signals is generated and the video signal is clamped by using this threshold potential, the video signal including the synchronizing signal is made less susceptible to the influence of noise and the like, and clamping operation of the video signal can be done more accurately.

Die Klemmschaltung weist einen zwischen eine Eingangsklemme (1) und eine Ausgangsklemme (2) geschalteten Klemmkondensator (4) auf. Die Ausgangsklemme (2) ist über eine Schalteinrichtung an eine niederohmige Spannungsquelle (6) geschaltet. Eine Einrichtung (7) stellt Einschaltimpulse (8) für die Schalteinrichtung (5) zu Zeitpunkten bereit, zu denen das Videosignal ein Synchronsignal aufweist. Damit wird eine getastete Klemmung erreicht. Dies ist besonders dann von Vorteil, wenn das Videosignal sich symmetrisch zu seinem Nullpegel ändert (MAC-Signale).
摘要:
A video signal clamper includes a DC level shifting circuit for controlling a DC component of an input analog video signal in response to a bias voltage and an A-D converter for converting the input analog video signal from the DC level shifting circuit into a digital video signal. A D-A converter (10) is provided for generating the bias voltage. A difference value corresponding to the difference between the value of the digital video signal and a value corresponding to a clamp level of the input analog video signal is applied through a full integral type digital filter (9) to the D-A converter (10). This full integral type digital filter (9) supplies to the D-A converter (10) the sum of the last difference value and the present difference value so as to renew the former. Therefore, the clamp level is precisely maintained.

Video signal processing apparatus is provided for use with a video camera (13) having a line scanning line period during which useful video information is provided and a flyback period during which an optical black signal level. Replacement black signal information that is a function of the optical black signal level is inserted (17) into a portion of the flyback period. When the camera (13) is of the type having a complementary colour matrix filter which produces odd and even raster scan lines of image pick-up signals with different modulation components, contour correction is provided. Modulation components in a scan line of image pick-up signals caused by the patterns of filter elements included in the matrix are removed (56), thereby producing an averaged scan line of image signals from which is extracted a signal component that is uncorrelated from one line to the next. Prior to such extraction, that portion of an averaged scan line of image signals which exceeds a predetermined level that is less than the lowest average level of a scan line of image signals which would saturate video processing circuitry (67, 69, 70) is clipped (61, 63, 65). The extracted, uncorrelated signal component is combined (73) with an averaged scan line of image signals to produce a contour-emphasized luminance signal.

摘要:
A digital signal clamp circuit is realized using an adder (28) and an up/down counter (18). The digital signal is coupled to one input of the adder (28) and the counter output is coupled to a second input of the adder. The up/down counter (18) is enabled to count only during signal intervals exhibiting the desired clamping level. The counter is controlled to count up or down depending on the polarity of the signal provided by the adder. The count value in the counter is continuously applied to the adder to provide clamping. Using a truncated count value from the counter enhances clamping performance.
