摘要:
A frame comb type composite video decoder which does not require motion adaptive processing circuitry generates low frequency luminance signal components from one field of composite video signal. The high frequency luminance component is derived from two lines of composite video signal from each of two fields disposed before and after the field from which the low frequency luminance signals is developed.

A television camera-recorder combination includes an imager which forms a signal representative of the image during an integration interval. The integration interval is followed by a pull-down interval during which the integrated signal is transferred out of the photoresponsive region. Streaking of an image displayed from the signal results from light falling on the photoresponsive region during the pull-down interval. A mechanical shutter periodically prevents light from falling upon the photoresponsive region of the imager. The shutter is synchronized with the pull-down interval. The synchronization and drive arrangement of the video recorder portion is mechanically coupled to the shutter to provide a common drive. In another embodiment, a color wheel associated with the viewfinder of the camera is mechanically coupled to the video recorder drive arrangement for common mechanical drive.

An improved transmission arrangement for a color television signal includes a time-division multiplexing apparatus for alternately presenting for transmission through a single channel baseband signals defining the chrominance information of the television signal. In order to provide improved resolution, a store is coupled to the signal source for storing at a writing rate a first of the baseband components during the time at which it is generated. A read generator is coupled to the store for reading the stored baseband component at a higher data rate than that at which it was generated. The baseband component is transmitted through the single channel at the higher data rate.

A video signal is serially enclosed for transmission in PCM form during synchronizing level intervals and encoded in a run length limited NRZ form during non-synchronizing level intervals, each PCM word being selected from minimum and maximum disallowed states of the NRZ code. In a decoder, a first detector responds only to the presence of the PCM code for synchronizing a second detector with response to both the NRZ and PCM coded portions of the encoded video signal to provide a decoded video output signal whereby the PCM portion of the signal conveys both decoder timing information and information as to a specific level of the video signal.

A sampled color video signal is recorded in component form in a plurality of channels. The form of the signal is chosen so that if only one channel is available due to dropouts upon playback, then at least approximate separation into color components is possible, and if all channels are available, then full color separation is possible. The form is also chosen to provide a dynamic range that fits the transmission channel.
摘要:
An apparatus for providing component-to-composite and vice versa transcodings of a sampled video signal features generating steering bits that indicate which of combinations of surrounding samples of a composite signal has a component that provides the closest match to the corresponding component of an original component video signal. This allows successive transcodings with a minimum of crosstalk between components, e.g., luminance and chrominance.

In order to reduce the amount of hardware required in comparing 8-bit numbers representing digitized video signals, only the four LSB are compared, since if the numbers differ by more than the four LSB, no comparison is desired. This is done by detecting if any of the four MSB are logic "1", and if so, setting all of the four LSB to logic "1".
摘要:
A transmission line cable terminated at both ends is routed through a plurality of separate television cameras and a television monitor. Each camera includes a current source coupled to the cable. The video from the camera modulates the current source to produce a signal across the terminations without changing the impedance across the line.
摘要:
A video signal amplitude registration system for a television camera is provided in which the video amplitude of two or more related video signals derived from scanning a common reference are compared with a rising ramp voltage so as to generate a control voltage proportional to the misregistration of the video signal amplitudes at both the black and white signal levels.
摘要:
A solid-state color imaging apparatus comprising a beamsplitter for splitting an incoming light beam representative of an image into at least first and second light beams corresponding to a first color band (e.g., green) of the incoming light and the first color band and a second color band (e.g., blue) of the incoming light, respectively, and first and second solid-state imagers disposed for receiving respective ones of the light beams. The first imager is optically offset with respect to the second imager and their output signals processed so as to develop an apparently improved resolution signal for light of said first color band when compared to the signal developed for light of said second color band.
