摘要： A contour compensating circuit is disclosed for compensating a video signal in such a manner as to obtain contour portions which are not overly stressed. The compensating operation of the contour compensating circuit according to this invention is performed by obtaining a full-wave rectified signal of the primary differentiated signal of a video signal and the positive- and negative-phase signals of a secondary differentiated signal thereof and forming a secondary pseudo-differentiated signal with a narrow pre and post overshooting width range from the signals obtained by selecting a first higher level signal between the full-wave rectified signal and one of the positive-phase signal and the half-wave signal thereof identical in porality with the full-wave signal, selecting a second higher level signal between the full-wave rectified signal and one of the negative-phase signal and the half-wave signal thereof identical in porality with the full-wave signal and comparing the first and second higher level signals, half-wave signal and the full-wave rectified signal. The resulting signal is superposed on the video signal.

摘要： In a video signal processing device, a black-white expansion circuit performs black-white expansion of a luminance signal (Y signal) included in a video signal to generate an expanded luminance signal (Y′ signal). A luminance ratio ‘n’ is computed as the rate of the expanded luminance signal (Y′ signal) to the luminance signal (Y signal). A first color difference signal (U signal) and a second color difference signal (V signal) included in the video signal are respectively multiplied by the luminance ratio ‘n’ (=Y′/Y) to give an expanded first color difference signal (U′ signal) and an expanded second color difference signal (V′ signal). This arrangement of the invention effectively enables black-white expansion with no color change, while attaining reduction of the overall circuit scale.
