In a picture-in-picture television receiver, the subpicture signal is A-D converted; the converted digital subpicture signal is latched in response a subpicture clock in synchronism with a subpicture synchronizing signal; the latched signal is latched again and stored in an image memory in response to a main picture synchronizing signal; and the latched signal is read from the image memory in synchronism with the main picture synchronizing signal, in order that the subpicture can stably be inserted in a predetermined area of the main picture by eliminating the unstable data duration during which variation in the subpicture signal is different for each bit signal thereof.

A television receiver for extended definition television carries out scanning line interpolation in a way that eliminates picture shift on the screen and ensures normal display when supplied with a non-standard video signal having a scanning line count of other than 262.5 lines per field. The television receiver includes a scanning line interpolation circuit, a normal video signal detection circuit and a interpolation controller. The scanning line interpolation circuit effects scanning line interpolation using either data in the current field or out-of-field data as per the result of motion detection in the picture. The normal video signal detection circuit distinguishes the normal video signal from other signals by detecting the number of scanning lines involved. The interpolation controller causes the scanning line interpolation circuit to effect scanning line interpolation using only the inside-field data if the supplied signal is a non-standard signal.

A plurality of circuit blocks that output digital signals with different sampling frequencies are connected to data buses in common. One of outputs of the circuit blocks is selected and the output is sent to a sampling rate converter circuit block through the data buses. Each of the circuit blocks has a tri-state buffer at its output stage. With an output enable signal, a desired circuit block can be selected.

Intermediate vertical synchronizing signals are generated to occur between the vertical synchronizing signals normally included in a conventional video signal. A first counter counts clock signals which are synchronized with the horizontal synchronizing signals normally included in the conventional video signal to provide a count representing the number of clock signals which are present in one-half of a field interval of that conventional video signal. The count provided by the first counter during the second preceding field interval is temporarily stored and compared to a count produced by a second counter which counts the clock signals from the beginning of the field interval. An intermediate vertical synchronizing signal is generated when the count of the second counter is equal to the stored count.

A synchronous detector adapted to detect a modulated information signal, such as a video IF signal. The modulated information signal is provided in the form of a vestigial sideband signal. A band-pass filter including a tuned circuit tuned to the frequency of the carrier on which the information signal is modulated has a pass band which is less than the frequency spectrum of the vestigial sideband signal so as to limit the frequency spectrum of the signal passed by the filter to a double sideband signal. A limiter is coupled to the band-pass filter to receive the double sideband signal and for deriving a switching carrier therefrom, the frequency of the switching carrier being equal to the frequency of the carrier on which the information signal is modulated. An emitter-follower circuit is connected between the band-pass filter and the limiter so as to couple the double sideband signal from the filter to the limiter. A multiplier circuit has first input terminals coupled to the limiter for receiving the derived switching carrier and second input terminals for receiving the modulated information signal, whereby the modulated information signal is multiplied with the switching carrier to obtain the information signal.

An amplifier provides a complete video and sound I.F. signal to a synchronous detector switching circuit, and the switching signal to be applied to the switching circuit is obtained from the same amplifier by connecting a grounded base stage, with its emitter impedance, in series with the amplifier load. The grounded base stage has a load tuned to the I.F. carrier frequency, and the filtered signal from the grounded base is the signal applied as the switching signal to the synchronous detector switching circuit.

A time-division bit number circuit that comprises a bit number expansion system and/or a bit number reduction system. The bit number expansion system converts an N bits signal to a 2N bits signal, while the bit number reduction system converts the 2N bits signal to the N bits signal where N is an integer. Thus, according to the time-division bit amount circuit, the number of memory can be saved, the area of circuit can be reduced and the pattern area of substrate can be reduced.
