    Abstract: A preprocessor for conditioning interlace-scan video signals for frame based compression, includes apparatus to accept fields of interlace-scanned video and provide fields of interlace-scanned luminance and chrominance component signals. The fields of interlace-scanned luminance component are combined into respective frames of luminance signal and applied to compressor apparatus for further processing. The fields of interlace scanned chrominance components are independently processed at the field level to generate lines of chrominance values which are interstitial to the lines of the original chrominance values and at a lesser pixel and line density. The independently processed fields of interlace-scanned chrominance signals are combined into respective frames of chrominance component signals and applied to compressor circuitry for further processing. Performing the chrominance signal interpolation and subsampling at the field level tends to eliminate a majority of color distortions around moving images. Receiver apparatus is configured to perform post decompression processing to generate frame data having the original pixel and line density.

    Abstract: A microprocessor embodied in an integrated circuit has a clock signal generator comprising an inverter in the integrated circuit and a frequency determining network external to the integrated circuit connected to the inverter through terminals. The clock signal generator generates a clock signal which determines the frequency of the instruction cycles of the microprocessor. The operation of the microprocessor is synchronized with a television horizontal rate signal by programming it to generate a comparison signal each time a predetermined number of instruction cycles, selected so that the comparison signal has the same nominal frequency as the horizontal rate signal have occurred. The simple wired AND gate serves as coincidence detector for the horizontal rate signal and the comparison signal and generates a pulse error signal representing the phase and frequency deviations between its two input signals. The error signal is filtered and coupled to the inverter to control the phase and frequency of the clock signal. This microprocessor synchronization arrangement is used to form characters on the screen of a picture tube without the need of an additional character generator.

    Abstract: Dual squelch circuits, the first preceding and the second following the video processor of a video disc player, are selectively activated by a control unit which receives transducer position information from the processor for calculation of disc playing time and control of the signal recovery transducer. The first squelch circuit aids in stabilizing the timebase correction servo of the video processor during the player pause operating mode. The second squelch circuit maintains video blanking during certain player transition operating modes (e.g., pause-to-play, load, etc.) while the control unit processes the position information to provide transducer control and playing time indicator signals.

    Abstract: A volume control system includes means responsive to a single push button for reversing the direction of volume level change for each alternate depression of the push button. Specifically, for a first depression of the push button, the volume is continuously increased so long as the push button is held down. For a second depression of the push button, the volume is continuously decreased so long as the push button is held down. The disclosed system saves the cost of an additional push button while providing an easy-to-use system for volume level adjustment.
