    摘要: An automatic color burst magnitude control (ACC) for a digital television receiver is compatible with and is unaffected by variation of the phase of the color subcarrier signal introduced in demodulating the color subcarrier to effect control of tint. ACC is effectuated by digital gain control for scaling the digital words representing the sampled magnitudes of the color subcarrier burst signal. Quadrature demodulation of the color subcarrier signal produces color signal digital words I and Q which are each sampled and latched during the color subcarrier burst. The averages of the sampled I and Q digital words are applied as respective portions of the address of a read only memory (ROM). The ROM provides error words indicating whether the chroma burst amplitude is too large or too small. A control device responds to the error word to scale the color subcarrier digital words, and therefore scale the chroma burst amplitude to a predetermined magnitude.

    摘要: In a composite color video signal, a portion of the signal spectrum is shared by high frequency vertical detail information, and high frequency modulated color difference (I) information. A circuit is described which determines whether the information in the shared frequency band is vertical detail information or color difference information without degradation in the presence of a step input signal, as, for example, in the presence of lettering in the image. A composite video signal is comb filtered to generate comb filtered chrominance and luminance signals. A baseband color difference signal is produced from the comb filtered chrominance signal and the presence of high frequency information in the baseband color difference signal is detected. The bandwidth of the low frequency portion of the comb filtered chrominance signal (i.e. the vertical detail information) which is restored to the comb filtered luminance signal is varied in response to the control signal.

    摘要: A motion adaptive television signal processing system is disclosed. An image change estimator estimates the image change over an image time interval. A television signal processor adaptively processes the signal in response to a control signal. A control signal generator is coupled between the image change estimator and the adaptive television signal processor. The control signal generated exhibits a function substantially described by: K=Ae.sup.-b/x where K is the value of the control signal, A is the maximum value the control signal can attain, x is the estimated image change, and b is a constant. In a second embodiment, a second estimator estimates a parameter of the television signal. The relationship of the control signal to the estimated image change is varied as a function of the estimated parameter.

    摘要: Clocked control signals are applied from a source to the input of delay means having a plurality of successive signal takeoff points, with the delay between successive ones of said takeoff points being the same (e.g., a period at the signal clocking frequency, f.sub.CL). An "and" gate is provided with a plurality of inputs equal in number to the plurality of takeoff points. Each takeoff point is linked by a signal path to a respectively different one of the "and" gate inputs. A succession of two-input "or" gates is provided, with one input of each "or" gate coupled to receive the output of the "and" gate. The last of the succession of "or" gates is coupled to a control signal output terminal. The output of each of the remainder of said succession is coupled via a respectively different one of a plurality of similar delay devices to the other input of the next succeeding one of said succession of "or" gates. Each of the delay devices imparts a delay equal to a period at f.sub.CL. The other input of the first of said succession of "or" gates is coupled to directly receive the control signal source output.

    摘要: A system for detecting overload conditions of a chrominance signal in which the chrominance signal is compared to a predetermined maximum desired amplitude value. Occurrences of the chrominance signal exceeding the predetermined amplitude are considered to be overload conditions only if the duration of the particular occurrence continues for an interval determined by the noise content of the chrominance signal. The average value of the chrominance signal over the internal is calculated to represent the overload signal.

    摘要: A hanging dot detector for a video signal processor including a comb filter is disclosed. The respective phases of the signals in the band of frequencies normally containing color representative information of both the comb filtered chrominance and luminance signals are detected. The magnitude of the changes of the respective comb filtered luminance and chrominance phase angle signals over a given time period are compared. A control signal is generated in response to the comparison of the changes over the period of time of the respective phases. A signal coupling unit couples the comb filtered luminance signal to the luminance processing channel. In response to the control signal, the signal coupling means alters the frequency composition of the comb filtered luminance signal so as to eliminate the color representative information. A further embodiment is disclosed to process a complementary-color vertical transition condition.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are presented for detecting the presence of ghost signal contamination of a video signal by examining the picture information interval of the video signal. A baseband video signal is detected and examined to detect signal transitions. Transitions of the main video signal of a given polarity will be followed by corresponding transitions of a ghost signal. The time intervals between ones of the transitions are measured and stored. If a ghost signal is present, the time interval between corresponding ghost and signal transitions will occur more frequently than the relatively random time intervals between transitions of the main signal and the ghost signal considered separately. By correlating the time interval measurements, the recurring time interval between corresponding main and ghost signal transitions can be identified. This information may then be used to adjust the delay of a delay line in a ghost cancellation system.

    摘要: Apparatus is provided which is responsive to a video signal for producing a position-modulated pulse train which is representative of the occurrence of transitions of the video signal. A transversal filter is responsive to the video signal and produces a differentiated replica of the video signal over a given band of frequencies. The output of the transversal filter contains transitional information of the video signal occupying a range of frequencies which is to be analyzed. Information representing transitions of positive, negative, or both polarities is then compared to a given threshold value. Signal transitions exceeding the threshold are converted to pulses, thereby producing a train of pulses representing significant transitions of a desired polarity or polarities. The times of occurrence of the pulses are then analyzed to generate a control signal for controlling a given characteristic of the video signal during processing.

    摘要: An adaptive filtering system is disclosed. The system is used in a digital television receiver to extract low frequency vertical detail information from a comb filtered chrominance signal. This system provides wide bandwidth vertical detail information when the amplitude of the chrominance component of the composite video signal is low and narrower bandwidth vertical detail signals as the amplitude of the chrominance component increases. Adaptive filtering is accomplished by passing the comb filtered chrominance signal through a first low-pass filter, developing two reduced amplitude replicas of the filtered signal which are mutually supplementary. The ratio of the amplitudes of these two replicas is variable with a control signal. One replica is passed through a second low-pass filter and combined with the other replica to produce a vertical detail signal. The embodiment of the system that is disclosed includes means for developing a control signal that is proportional to the instantaneous amplitude of the chrominance component of the composite video signal.
