    摘要: In the case where a wide-band color picture signal provided for a high-definition television broadcasting is sub-sampled for narrow-band transmission, in comparison with a stationary picture signal which is applied with sub-sampling according to a sampling pattern circulated at every two frames, the color picture signal in motional picture regions, which is conventionally applied with line-offset sub-sampling at every field, has a lowered resolution. To improve the resolution concerned, color difference signals in motional picture regions are applied with inter-field offset sub-sampling together with band-limitation for preventing aliasing distortion accompanied with subsampling and signal processing including interpolation for reproduction, which are effected in a form completed at every frame. As for motional picture regions having small motion, a luminance signal is applied also with similar sub-sampling and similar signal processing. As a result, the overall picture quality of the reproduced motional color picture is improve by signal processing thus adapted for color pictures in motional picture regions.

    摘要: A video signal is sampled with a sampling frequency which is at least four times of the highest frequency of the video signal, subsequently, sampled signals are converted into digital signals and component thereof which are higher than the highest frequency of the video signal are eliminated by a low pass filter, then, remaining sampled signals are alternately decimated by a decimation circuit, thus the sampling frequency is reduced in appearance to the half thereof.

    摘要: Digital sampling of the luminance component of an N.T.S.C. color television signal is achieved by sampling with a mean frequency of twice the color subcarrier frequency to produce a sub-Nyquist sampled luminance signal. The sampling phase is changed between each pair of lines by an amount equal to half the interval between samples. The digital sampling can be applied to separate luminance and chrominance signals, to encoded N.T.S.C., and to the conversion of N.T.S.C. signals into signals of other form including PAL. Further, phase-perturbed sampling techniques permit the construction of an advantageous N.T.S.C. coder and de-coder system. The coder operates to cause spectrum folding of a luminance input signal by multiplying by a phase perturbed signal of twice the color subcarrier, and adding, the resultant being comb filtered to select frequencies which are multiples of the line frequency. The chrominance signals I, Q are combined into I.+-.Q and are modulated onto phase-perturbed subcarrier, the resultant being comb filtered to select frequencies which are of integral multiples of half the line frequencies. The two signals are then added.The comb filters mentioned can be based on one line delays or on odd multiples of one line, particularly 263 or 525 lines. A converse decoder filters then spectrum folds the luminance component, and filters and multiplies by subcarrier to derive the chrominance. Once an N.T.S.C. signal has been encoded by use of the encoder, subsequent decoding and recoding produces no theoretical impairment into the signal.

    摘要: A composite color TV signal having the chrominance modulated and interleaved at the null points of the luminance frequency spectrum is comb filtered only over the region where the chrominance occurs. The filter separates luminance from chrominance. The chrominance is further demodulated and separated into its I and Q components. Each of the Y, I and Q components being a signal having a frequency spectrum with peaks at the horizontal line rate and nulls at an odd multiple of the horizontal line rate is sampled at a respective sampling frequency which is an odd multiple of half the line rate and which is also less than the Nyquist rate. Sampling at less than the Nyquist rate results in sampling energy being ''''folded back'''' into the spectrums of the respective Y, I and Q components; however, the sampling energy will be interleaved at the null points of the respective spectrums. When the sampled signals are received, the unwanted sampling energy is comb filtered out. All of the comb filters used comb only so much of the signal frequency band which includes the energy to be eliminated. Each comb filter includes a band pass filter which has a transfer characteristic which rises rapidly to a maximum level and remains constant over the frequency band of interest. The band pass filter includes phase equalization means which provides a linear phase shift versus frequency characteristic that intersects the ordinate of a phase shift versus frequency graph at a phase shift of 2n pi where n may be any integer.

    摘要: Digital processing of a 525 line N.T.S.C. color television signal is achieved by digitizing (40) with a sub-Nyquist sampling frequency f.sub.s which has a mean value 2 f.sub.sc .+-.1/2 f.sub.F, or more generally m f.sub.L .+-.(p+1/2) f.sub.F (where f.sub.sc, f.sub.L and f.sub.F are the subcarrier, line scan, and field scan frequencies, and m and p are integers). Conveniently the sampling frequency is exactly 2 f.sub.sc during each field and suffers a 180.degree. phase shift between fields. After processing, the signal is converted back to analogue form (50) and, to remove alias components, is comb filtered (30) over the frequency range f.sub.s -f.sub.v to f.sub.v (where f.sub.v is the maximum video frequency in the original signal) by averaging across a 262 line delay (24'), or more generally a delay of a field minus half a line. Preferably a second comb filter (10) is included before the digitizer (40); the two filters (10, 30) are then so arranged that the overall delay suffered over the whole frequency range is substantially the same. Digital comb filters can be used in which case the filters and converters are reversed in position and the initial sampling is at twice the required frequency f.sub.s. Improved diagonal luminance and vertical chrominance resolution is obtained with stationary pictures, and alias components are reduced.

    摘要: In a method and apparatus for transcoding digital PAL color television signals between (i) a 2fsc format consisting of an encoded signal of PAL type sampled at 2fsc and (ii) a 3fsc format consisting of a luminance signal Y at 2fsc and a chrominance signal C sampled at fsc and comprising U+V and U-V on alternate lines (or either the luminance signal or composite chrominance signal by itself), avoid the need to convert the signal to analogue PAL form as an intermediate step. Converting from the 2fsc to the 3fsc format, over the chrominance bandwidth undelayed and 1- and 2-line delayed samples are combined in the proportions 1/4:1/2:1/4, and below the chrominance band the 1-line delayed samples are low-pass filtered, these together providing the luminance signal Y. To provide the chrominance signal C the undelayed and 2-line delayed signals are combined in the proportions -1/4:1/4. The low- and band-pass filters are digital transversal filters operating on adjacent samples in the signal. Transcoding in the other direction is similar.

    摘要: NTSC television signals are digitally encoded at sub-Nyquist rates by placing the alias components into those parts of the spectrum not normally occupied by the luminance or chrominance components of the video signal. In a system described, the sampling frequency, f.sub.s, is exactly 2f.sub.sc + 1/4f.sub.h or 2f.sub.sc - 1/4f.sub.h, where f.sub.sc is the NTSC color subcarrier frequency and f.sub.h is the line-scan frequency. Most of the alias signals in the thus encoded signal are removed from the baseband video by comb filtering between f.sub.s - f.sub.y and f.sub.v, where f.sub.v is the baseband video bandwidth.
