Digital video signals are subjected to band limiting by a high pass filter with a pass band terminating somewhat above half of the digital sampling frequency. The filtered signal is in effect subtracted from the original signal in an addition circuit with suitably phased inputs in order to make available a substitute signal of the interpolation low pass filtered kind. A circuit for determining the presence of an erroneous digital word accepts the high pass filtered signal, differentiates it twice and then digitally rectifies it in order to detect a possible maximum at half the sampling rate. When such a maximum is found, a changeover switch is caused to substitute the interpolation-low-pass-filtered signal for the orginal signal. Only a single digital filter is necessary for this operation. The high pass filter is a FIR filter of, for example, eleventh order and the middle coefficient is in effect changed from minus 1 to 0 when the delay equalized original signal is added to the output of the high pass filter.

A process for storing picture synchronous sound signals is provided. The sound signals are divided into segments for this purpose, whose cycle is equal to the cycle of the associated video signal segments. In addition to the sound data of the actual video signal segment each sound signal segment also includes one portion of the sound data of the preceding video signal segment and the subsequent video signal segment. The sound signal segments are time compressed to the length of the video signal segments for recording or transmitting. The sound signals can be softly changed over due to overlapping during backplay and cutting.

Digital data are stored on a magnetic tape at a bit rate which does not exceed the storage capabilities of the tape of about 80 Mbit/s, although received digital video signals have a bit rate of about 100 Mbit/s per channel in a two-channel system. In order to record such a bit-stream, the signals are applied to a head wheel having at least three transducer heads, and the bits are applied to the transducer heads in time-expanded form, the time-expanded signals being recompressed upon reproduction. Time compression and expansion is preferably carried out by buffer memories which have data entered and read-out in the FIFO method, at respectively different clock rates, switched under control of a control unit (24) which receives head wheel position input signal information.

Digitalized television signals of an entire picture field are stored and then are read out with a cross scanning of the lines of the picture field while the next picture field is stored in the memory in the memory cells vacated by cross scanning, thus in a different sequence of memory addresses. The cross scanned digital television signals are then subjected to low-pass filtering to provide output picture point signals at the rate of twice the filter cut-off frequency. If the picture format is to be changed, a sampling rate converter then restores the original sample rate and the digital signals are stored in a second picture field store from which a second cross read-out is made. Where no change of picture format is made the number of lines in the picture is changed in accordance with the setting of the filter cut-off and the related new sampling rate. When the picture format has been changed a vertically compressed picture bordered by black or a vertically expanded picture cut off at top or bottom or both is provided. In the latter two cases a second filtering and restoration of the sample rate is done to provide the same compression or expansion in the horizontal dimension of the picture.

A digital main store having a capacity of one field and a buffer store of much lower capacity upstream of the main store are so arranged that the buffer control controls the buffer store to compensate frequency differences between an input television signal and a reference signal. An address generator controls the main store to compensate phase differences between the two signals.

To correct erroneously recorded video data, or other data which have periodically recurring gaps or intervals in the data stream, the data are applied to two channels, one channel applying the data to a recording head (2) on the tape, and immediately thereafter reproduction by a reproducing head (4); the second channels applies the data to a time delay circuit (14) which has a delay time corresponding to the time interval between recording/reproduction in the first channel. The time-delayed original data in the second channel are compared with the reproduced data in the first channel by a correlator (13), and if the comparison indicates inconsistency, the time-delayed data are stored, for example in a random excess memory (RAM) 23, and re-recorded upon recall from the RAM 23 during a recording interval or gap, as determined by a control signal applied to a transfer switch (6) in series circuit with the recording head (2). Substantial deviation between the data in the first and second channel can also be indicated by integrating an output signal from the correlator (13) representative of errors, and providing an alarm output (27, 28) if a certain alarm threshold reference is exceeded.

The invention concerns a method of time-correcting a digital switching signal. To derive a switching signal from a television signal in conventional analog technique, the television signal is passed through a threshold value device which provides the switching signal when the threshold value is exceeded. In digital processing, however, this can give rise to faults since the exceeding of the threshold value is not recognized until the following scanned value of the digital television signal so that the switching signal is delayed relative to its true position. To avoid this a time correction signal is formed which corresponds to the amount by which the actual switching signal is delayed relative to its true position, and this correction signal is used to produce a series of control signals which effect a progressive switching of the digital signal.

The alternate line first picture field of a television picture frame is delayed for one line scan period and the delayed signals are averaged with the currently picked up signals to provide a second field of interpolated lines. Each recorded field is played twice and, for the first playing, a switch actuated at half the vertical scan frequency furnishes the delayed signals to the picture reproducing circuits, while for the second playing of the same field from the record, the averaged signals are supplied to the picture reproduction circuits. For color television signals, only the low-frequency components are processed in the foregoing manner, and the high-frequency components are separated by a frequency dividing network ahead of the delay circuit and added back to the processed low-frequency signals for provision to the picture reproducing circuits.
摘要:
To transmit color video information from one point to another within a color television studio complex, particularly for distribution of source signals which are intended to be processed in a digital mode at another location in the studio, the information is transmitted in form of a color television signal comprising a luminance component having a given frequency range and a carrier frequency chrominance component having a frequency range outside that of the luminance component, the chrominance component simultaneously obtaining the full color information for the luminance component. The selected mode permits the ready separation of the luminance and chrominance components without perceptible quality losses, and recording and cutting processing.

A comb filter filters the luminance signal and a difference signal indicative of the difference in signal content between two sequential lines. A low-pass filter furnishes a low frequency luminance signal having only the low frequency components of the luminance signal. The low frequency signal is applied to a horizontal aperture correction circuit which furnishes substitute high frequency signals. The low frequency luminance signal and the substitute high frequency signals are applied to one input of a fade-in fade-out circuit whose other input receives the luminance signal. The ratio of signals at the output of the fade-in fade-out circuit is controlled by a correlation signal derived from the difference signal. In the digital embodiment, the fade-in fade-out circuit receives the luminance signal and the substitute high frequency signals only and the low frequency luminance signal is added to the output of the fade-in fade-out circuit. The chrominance signals are derived by synchronous detection from the difference signal.
