A time-base conversion system including a first clock generator for generating a read clock based on a reference signal, a second clock generator for generating a write clock by dividing the read clock, a memory, a circuit for writing video data in the memory based on the write clock, a circuit for reading the video data recorded in the memory based on the read clock, and a time-base compressor for determining a compression ratio of the video data time-base by determining a division ratio of the write clock.

Time-base conversion system

The luminance signal-color signal separating circuit obtains signals of three lines by a 1H delaying circuit. Further, by unit delaying circuits, signals at three points are obtained in each line. Thus, signals at nine points continued vertically and horizontally are input into a color signal detecting circuit which determines an oblique correlation of the signals at these nine points to thereby obtain the degree of the color. The color signal detecting circuit obtains a color signal output having had the oblique luminance component removed by the operation of the color signal component from a three-line color separating circuit and the degree of the color.

A delta-sigma modulation analog to digital converter for converting an analog input signal to a digital output signal. The converter includes a clock generator for generating a very high frequency clock signal, a dither signal generator responsive to the clock signal generator for generating a dither signal which is synchronized with the clock signal, an adder coupled to the dither signal generator for combining the analog input signal and the dither signal, a delta-sigma modulation type quantizer coupled to the adder for quantizing the analog input signal and the dither signal in response to the clock signal and a data decimation circuit responsive to the clock signal and coupled to the delta-sigma modulation type quantizer for decimation prescribed quantization data from the quantized signal and producing a digital signal corresponding to the analog input signal.
