摘要:
An HDTV signal (dot density: 2N dots/line) is converted into a luminance signal and a line sequential color signal, and the resulting signals are both subjected to vertical interpolation and vertical filtering to derive a sequential scanning luminance signal and a sequential scanning color signal. The resulting sequential scanning luminance signal and sequential scanning color signal are subjected to frame thinning to reduce the frequency thereof to a half. Then, subsampling is performed to reduce the dot density to N dots/line. Next, dot rearranging for distributing adjacent dots to adjacent lines is performed to double the number of frames, whereby the dot density of each frame is reduced to N/2 dots/line. These consequently derived frames are encoded for recording. In this manner, the frequency bandwidth required to a recording medium for recording HDTV signals can be reduced.

A video signal recording apparatus is provided with first and second channels for transmitting an input video signal. The first channel has a line memory for conducting a 1H delay on data and a time-base-extension line memory for conducting time base extension on the data with the 1H delay. The data subjected to the time base extension undergoes D/A conversion to be an output of the first channel. On the other hand, the second channel does not have a line memory for a 1H delay, and the video signal without delay is subjected, to time base extension and undergoes D/A conversion to be an output of the second channel. In the arrangement, odd lines and even lines respectively contained in adjoining two frames in each channel are reversed such that in a certain frame, odd lines of the input video signal are transmitted through the first channel with even lines through the second channel. In the next frame, even lines are transmitted through the first channel with odd lines through the second channel. Thus, influences on the reproduced picture due to the difference of circuit characteristics is averaged and the perception of unevenness of color or brightness is avoided.

A signal processing device is arranged to form a first output modulated signal by modulating an input information signal in accordance with a modulation carrier signal, to form a second output modulated signal by modulating the first output modulated signal in accordance with a modulation carrier signal which is identical to the above-stated modulation carrier signal, and to correct the input information signal by using the second output modulated signal. The modulation circuit of the device is thus arranged to have a minimal amount of leakage of the modulation carrier signal for the information signal, so that the device can be easily arranged as an integrated circuit.

摘要:
A wide bandwidth color video signal, such as a high definition television (HDTV) signal is recorded on a video disc by timebase expanding the luminance component and timebase compressing the color difference components to a bandwidth substantially equal to the bandwidth of the timebase expanded luminance component. The timebase expanded luminance component and the timebase compressed color difference components are time division multiplexed and separated into plural channels of multiplexed signals, each of which is recorded in a respective track on the video disc. Signals recorded in this format are recovered by reproducing the plural channels of multiplexed luminance and color difference components from respective tracks, demultiplexing the timebase expanded luminance component and the timebase compressed color difference components, timebase compressing the separated luminance component to return it to its conventional timebase, and timebase expanding the separated color difference components to return them to their conventional time base.
