摘要:
An interface circuit 13 is provided for a display apparatus 3 such as a television. The display apparatus 3 comprises a video signal processing circuit 8 for processing a composite video signal to derive colour component signals having variable black and white levels; a linear amplifier 10 for amplifying the colour component signals; and a display device 4 such as a CRT driven by the output of the linear amplifier 10. The interface circuit 13 is provided to interface the colour component signals with a digital signal processor 14. The interface circuit 13 includes a modification circuit 22 arranged to perform a modification of voltage levels of the colour component signals and to output the modified colour component signals to the digital signal processor 14 via an A/D convertor 18. The interface circuit 13 further includes a remodification circuit 23 arranged to receive processed colour component signals supplied from the digital signal processor 14 via a D/A convertor 19 and to perform a modification of the processed colour component signals which is the inverse of the modification performed by the modification circuit 22. The modification and remodification circuits 22, 23 use calibration signals including the black and white levels of the colour component signals inserted in a predetermined period in the vertical blanking interval of the colour component signal. The interface circuit 13 reduces the resolution necessary in the A/D convertor 18.
