    摘要: A circuit for generating a composite keying signal comprises a burst gate circuit and a voltage translating network in a color television receiver also including keyed signal processing circuits and means for deriving horizontal and vertical blanking signals and a horizontal sync signal from a composite color television signal containing a color burst component. The burst gate circuit responds to the horizontal sync signal to develop a burst gate pulse encompassing the burst interval. A voltage level developed by the translating network in response to the horizontal and vertical blanking signals is combined with the burst gate pulse to produce a composite keying signal. The composite keying signal comprises a first pulse component of a desired level as determined by the translating network and ocurring during the blanking intervals, and a second pulse cmponent as provided from the burst gate circuit, superimposed on the first pulse and encompassing the burst interval. Means are also included for inhibiting the output of the keying signal generator during picture intervals of the television signal, to prevent false keying of the keyed circuits in response to keying signals generated by the keying signal generator in the presence of spurious input signals occurring during picture intervals.

    摘要: Brightness control apparatus for a video signal image reproducing system including a video signal processing channel, a kinescope driver for supplying video signals to an image reproducing kinescope, and a source of substantially fixed potential to which signals processed by the kinescope driver are referenced. A comparator senses the substantially fixed reference potential and a blanking level which occurs during periodic blanking intervals of the video signal, and provides an output control signal indicative of the voltage difference between the reference potential and the blanking level. The control voltage is applied to the video channel for translating the blanking level in a direction to minimize the voltage difference, to thereby establish the conduction of the kinescope driver during image intervals of the video signal at a level corresponding to a desired image black level condition when such condition is manifested by the video signal.

    摘要: An automatic kinescope beam current limiter for a television receiver comprises a source of signal representative of kinescope beam current conduction, a first transistor responsive to the representative signal over first, second and third ranges of excessive beam currents above a threshold level, and a second transistor. A first control signal derived from the first transistor modifies the video signal peak-to-peak amplitude (contrast level) when beam currents above the threshold level occur. The output of the first transistor is selectively coupled to an input of the second transistor when beam currents beyond the first range occur. A second control signal derived from the second transistor modifies the video signal D.C. component (brightness level) to limit beam currents beyond the first range, whereby both the peak amplitude and D.C. components are modified over the second range. The first control signal is clamped to a fixed level in response to beam currents beyond the second range, whereby the video signal D.C. component is modified alone to limit beam currents over the third range.

    摘要: Signals to be cored are applied to the inputs of a linear signal amplifier, and of a multistage limiting amplifier having cascaded input and output amplifying stages. A cored version of the signals, corresponding to the difference between a linearly translated version of the signals and a doubly clipped version thereof, is developed by a signal combiner responsive to the outputs of both amplifiers. A variable coring level control voltage controls the distribution of gain between the input and output amplifying stages, substantially without disturbing the overall gain of the limiting amplifier, which is set to match the overall gain of the linear amplifier. In an illustrative embodiment, the signals which are adjustably cored are horizontal peaking signals derived from the received luminance signal in a color television receiver. An automatic peaking control system associated with output of the adjustable coring circuit opposes changes in peaking level that might otherwise accompany coring level adjustment.

    摘要: A DC coupled system for automatically controlling the high frequency peaking content of a video signal is disclosed. The system includes a DC coupled control path comprising a peak detector for developing a control voltage representative of the high frequency content of the video signal exclusive of video signal DC components, and is preceded by a video signal amplifier. A filter for shaping the frequency response of the control path is connected to the amplifier. A manually adjustable peaking control for controlling the DC bias of the amplifier is also connected to the amplifier. The filter and adjustable peaking control exhibit mutually independent operation, and are both connected to the amplifier via the same single terminal.

    摘要: Trilevel sandcastle pulse decoder includes a trio of voltage comparators for comparing incoming sandcastle pulses with reference potentials of respectively different levels. One of the voltage comparators, which is subject to change in operating state in response to appearance of a given level of the sandcastle pulse, is precluded from operating state change in response to the appearance of the next higher level of the sandcastle pulse by control circuitry responsive to the output of a second of the voltage comparators. One of the decoder outputs is developed by logic circuitry responsive to outputs of two of the comparators.

    摘要: A circuit for linearly controlling the gain of a differential amplifier includes a differentially connected current splitter network biased by means of a symmetrical bias circuit coupled to a common operating potential and including first and second current sources with associated first and second impedances. The current splitter includes a diode exhibiting a non-linear voltage in response to linear current conduction, and a transistor. The bias circuit responds to a variable gain control voltage for causing the diode to conduct current which varies linearly with the gain control voltage. First and second mutually differential control voltages derived from the transistor and diode, including a non-linearly varying voltage exhibited by the diode, are applied to the differential amplifier for controlling the conduction of the differential amplifier linearly with respect to the original control voltage.

    摘要: A first resistive current path is DC connected between respective output terminals of push-pull color demodulator. A second resistive current path is DC connected between respective output terminals of a second push-pull color demodulator. An output color-difference signal is formed by a differential amplifier having one input DC connected to an asymmetrically positioned point in first resistive current path, and a second input DC connected to an asymmetrically positioned point in second resistive current path. Output color-difference signal corresponds to a combination of the demodulated signals, with a polarity relationship and magnitude ratio determined by the asymmetry of positioning of the takeoff points in the respective current paths. Output quiescent voltage is independent of the asymmetry of positioning of the takeoff points.

    摘要: Color reference oscillator comprises a non-inverting amplifier, with positive feedback via a crystal filter linking its output and input. A quadrature phase shift network, coupled to the filter output, delivers phase shifted signals to a pair of independently controlled amplifiers. One of the controlled amplifiers is responsive to control voltage outputs of a burst-responsive phase detector so as to inject phase shifted signals into the oscillator loop, as and when required, to effect synchronization of oscillator with burst component of incoming color television signal. The second of the controlled amplifiers is responsive to a reference DC voltage and to a manually adjustable DC control voltage, and develops a phase shifted signal output, of a magnitude and polarity dependent upon the magnitude and sense of the difference, if any, between the respective DC voltages, for combination with the non-inverting amplifier's output. Variation of the manually adjustable control voltage effects an adjustment of the free-running frequency of the oscillator.

    摘要: An image brightness control circuit is included in a television receiver which also includes a video signal black level clamp comprising a charge storage capacitor. The clamp operates during video signal blanking intervals, between picture intervals, for establishing a video signal black reference level. A variable brightness control voltage is applied to the clamp-controlled video signal only during picture intervals of the video signal. Brightness control is thereby achieved without introducing a visible gradual change in the brightness of a reproduced image, which would otherwise be produced by the action of the clamp charging or discharging the storage capacitor.
