摘要:
A video signal recording method and apparatus for-recording each field of a video signal as a plurality of segments on respective tracks of a magnetic tape, in which each segment consists of a sequentially-ordered set of scanning lines which constitute a fraction of the total scanning lines of the field and which extend substantially over the entire field, for example all of the even-numbered or all of the odd-numbered lines of the field. Since each recording track contains scanning lines extending sequentially over one field, a playback signal providing a correctly ordered display image is obtained for playback operation at speeds higher or lower than the standard speed, while utilizing the same recording and playback signal processing circuits as are utilized during standard speed operation.

Extended definition television (EDTV) signals including a compatible composite wideband signal and a separate helper or extended definition signal are combined, for example, for recording purposes, using frequency multiplexing techniques. The helper signal is applied to a modulator, which produces a suppressed carrier modulated signal, to frequency shift the helper signal to a spectral band above the frequency band occupied by the compatible composite wideband signal. The frequency shifted and wideband signal are then added to form the combined signal.

A method for recording broad-band color video signals in which the broad-band 3-color signals are separated into narrow-band 3-color signals and a high-band monochrome signal having a higher frequency band. The high-band monochrome signal is divided into three bands and frequency-converted respectively. The frequency-converted three bands of the high-band monochrome signal are merged into the narrow-band 3-color signals, while maintaining the frequency interlace relationship, so that three composite color video signals are produced. The thus produced three composite color video signals are recorded on different regions of recording medium.

A multirecording method in which a multiplex sub-Nyquist-sampling video signal is multirecorded together with a predetermined signal, such as a pilot or audio signal, with no generation of striped-pattern interference in the reproduced picture. In accordance with the invention, the frequency of the predetermined signal is set at m/(2n+1) times as high as the horizontal scanning frequency of the video signal, where n is a natural number of m is a natural number other than an integral multiple of (2n+1).

A wide band video signal recording apparatus is arranged to simultaneously record, on a recording medium, multi-channel video signals which are obtained by frequency modulating a luminance signal included in a wide band video signal; by frequency dividing the frequency modulated luminance signal at different phases thereof to obtain multi-channel luminance signals; and by multiplexing a carrier chrominance signal included in the video signal with the low band of at least one of the multi-channel luminance signals.

An apparatus and method for generating video signals using an improved camera system is disclosed. Video recording techniques which save bandwidth, and a temporal filter which is tailored to the eye's temporal response are also disclosed. In the camera apparatus, an optical means directs light from a scene to both a first video imaging device operating at a relatively fast frame rate and a second video imaging device operating at a relatively slow frame rate. The outputs of the two video imaging devices can be combined to obtain a high definition video signal.

The full potential of high resolution television by synchronized modulation of the scan lines at the camera and display unit is achieved in standard transmission through band limited channels by: separating out of the video signal from the television camera the modulation frequency as sidebands with pixel information, for example 7.16.+-.1/2 MHz in the case of a color subcarrier at 3.58 MHz under the NTSC standards and pixel information modulated on sidebands in a narrow band (about .+-.1/2 MHz); converting the sidebands with pixel information down to within the color subcarrier band (in the range of 3.75 MHz to 4.2 MHz) using a heterodyne converter; and adding back to the video signal out of the camera the down-converted sidebands with pixel information before processing it through the color encoder for transmission through the bandwidth limited channel. The transmitted signal may be received and displayed by a standard television receiver or monitor, but to achieve the higher resolution which modulation of the scan line affords, the receiver, or monitor, must be modified to convert the color reference frequency to the line scan modulation frequency (synchronized with the color subcarrier) and, while using the color reference at the standard frequency for color decoding, using the modulation frequency to modulate the line scan of the color display tube at the same time the detected video signal is filtered to separate the down-converted sidebands with pixel information, convert the sidebands with pixel information back up to the modulation frequency using a heterodyne converter, and add the up-converted sidebands with pixel information back into the detected video signal for processing in the receiver or monitor modified to modulate the scan lines for display.
摘要:
A color video signal composed of successive groups of analog color samples, successive samples in at least some of said groups alternating between one color and another, wherein such groups represent successively scanned rows or lines of video frames or fields, is processed, prior to recording, by assigning respective samples to one of a plurality of channels of substantially equal bandwidth in a manner such that respective channels contain subgroups of samples representing only one color per subgroup, thereby minimizing the power at the sampling frequency in such channels. The information in the channels is recorded on a corresponding plurality of tracks on a recording medium by multi-channel essentially-fixed-head recording apparatus thereby realizing the manufacturing economy of essentially-fixed-head type apparatus. In one embodiment of the invention, samples of a first color occur more frequently in the color video signal than do samples of a second color, thereby maximizing the utilization of the information storage capacity of the recording medium.In a preferred implementation, the color video signal is generated by a solid state image sensing array having discrete image sensing elements selectively sensitized to green, red, or blue. Green-sensitive elements occur more frequently in the array than do red- or blue-sensitive elements in recognition of the fact that human visual acuity is higher for green, than for red or blue. The signal is separated sample-by-sample and the samples assigned to eight channels in a manner such that for each group of samples, the samples representing green (green samples) occupy four of the eight channels, and the samples representing red (red samples) and/or blue (blue samples) occupy the other four channels.
