    摘要: A system for expanding/compressing a video signal includes a dual-port memory having read and write address inputs and a video signal input. A pixel counter provides a pixel location signal to the write address input of the dual-port memory, and to a programmed memory device (e.g., a PROM) including a look-up table. The memory device is programmed to provide a time expanded/compressed version of the pixel location signal in accordance with a programmed time expansion/compression factor, which is applied to the read address input of the dual-port memory. A time expanded/compressed video signal is developed at the output of the dual-port memory.

    摘要: A system for transmitting and receiving signals representing a high-definition television (HDTV) image is disclosed. The signals are sent over two conventional 6 MHz NTSC channels. A first signal, the main signal, is developed by encoding circuitry from HDTV source signals to be compatible with existing NTSC receivers in that it produces a display on those receivers which is not significantly distorted. The main signal includes psychophysically hidden video information which may be used by an extended definition receiver to produce a widescreen image having a higher level of detail than a conventional video image. A second signal, the auxiliary signal, is developed at the transmitter by decoding the main signal and subtracting the decoded main signal from the original HDTV source signals. The auxiliary signal, which includes frequency components from 0 Hz to 20 MHz is split into three bands, A (0 Hz-6MHz), B (6 MHz-12 MHz) and C (12 MHz-18 MHz). Bands B and C are frequency converted to occupy the 0 Hz-6 MHz band and are time division multiplexed on a line by line basis. The combined B and C bands are then time division multiplexed with the A band on a frame by frame basis for still images. For moving images, only the A band is sent. The receiver decodes the main signal, and, using a motion signal sent with the main signal, decodes the auxiliary signal. The decoded main and auxiliary signals are combined to reproduce the HDTV image.

    摘要: In a television signal processing system of the type which encodes an auxiliary carrier modulated with auxiliary image information in line format, which carrier is placed within the spectral band of standard television signal components, and wherein the modulated auxiliary carrier tends to interfere with the standard television signal, the interference is minimized by spatially variably attenuating the auxiliary image information. The attenuation function is selected to apply greater attenuation to the auxiliary image information at the extremities of the lines than toward the center of the lines.

    摘要: In a widescreen signal encoding system for a television-type signal, side panel chrominance information is not subjected to time compression in an overscan region such as a horizontal overscan region containing time compressed low frequency side panel luminance information. Both low and high frequency side panel chrominance information, and high frequency side panel luminance information, modulate an auxiliary subcarrier.

    摘要: A video signal processing system includes a signal interpolator associated with time compression/expansion apparatus. The interpolator is preceded by a high frequency peaking network which responds to a variable control signal representative of a desired amount of displayed image sharpness. In a disclosed embodiment the peaking network responds to a control signal which is a function of a distance between image pixels, and a variable signal from a viewer adjustable image sharpness control.

    摘要: A widescreen television signal containing center panel information and time compressed side panel information in an overscan region is intraframe processed above a given frequency only with respect to the center panel information. The intraframe processing apparatus includes a signal delay network with first and second 262H delay elements coupled between an input and an output of the delay network. During a first field interval, signals from the delay input and from an intermediate point between the delay elements are subtractively combined to produce a difference term which is coupled to a signal path. During a second field interval, signals from the delay output and from the intermediate point are subtractively combined to produce a difference term which is coupled to the signal path. An intraframe processed output signal is produced by combining the difference terms from the signal path with a signal from the intermediate delay point. A filter and an electronic gate in the signal path determine frequency selective intraframe processing of the center panel information alone.
