A signal processing circuit for use in a solid-state camera comprising a sensor for deriving an electrical signal from the camera, a preamplifier for amplifying the output of the sensor and an integrator for integrating the output of the preamplifier. A specific circuit arrangement is provided for the preamplifier to narrow the bandwidth of the preamplifier, so that an abnormal increase of noise in the electrical signal is effectively suppressed.

A solid-state color imaging device includes a plurality of different color filters arranged above photo-electric conversion elements arranged in matrix, such that each of chroma signals necessary for color reproduction includes the same spectrum of vertical smear component. A single memory is provided to store a vertical smear component included in one of the chroma signals necessary for the color reproduction. By subtracting a predetermined multiple of the output of the memory from the output signals on all of the chroma signal output lines, the vertical smear components appearing in all of the chroma signal output lines are eliminated.

A video synchronous detector apparatus for discriminating a video intermediate frequency signal, in which the video intermediate frequency signal is divided into two parts, one of which is applied to one terminal of a multiplier circuit, and the other of which is applied to the other terminal of the multiplier circuit through a picture-carrier intermediate frequency extraction circuit having a frequency selection circuit and a limiter circuit. The frequency selection circuit is provided with a trap circuit. The trap circuit has a center resonance frequency equal to a differential frequency between a picture-carrier intermediate frequency (f.sub.p) and a differential frequency between a color subcarrier intermediate frequency (f.sub.c) and a sound-carrier intermediate frequency (f.sub.s) so that a so-called sound-cross-color disturbance caused by a beat between the intermediate frequency sound signal and the intermediate frequency picture signal may be reduced.

A signal editing and processing technique for converting a plurality of continuous signals, especially long term continuous audio signals respectively relating to short term still picture signals, to a transmitting signal in which signal transmission periods and pause periods are provided, having an integer ratio of time duration with each other, wherein other signals, especially the picture signals, should be transmitted. All continuous signals are sequentially converted to digital signals addressed in accordance with relevant continuous signals, and once stored in arbitrary positions of a memory, and then read out in a given multiplexed sequence corresponding to the transmission periods of the transmitting signal. The read out multiplexed digital signals are sequentially stored in another memory, and then read out with a given high speed equal to that of the signal transmission. The digital signals read out with the high speed are stored in still another memory, and then read out repeatedly to form the transmitting signal.

There is provided a receiving system for receiving the video signal for each one frame. The video signal is divided into line signals each corresponding to the horizontal scanning period and transmitted sequentially in such a manner that each line signal is inserted in a television signal during each vertical blanking period. The line signals inserted in the transmitted television signal are separated therefrom and the separated line signals are selectively recorded on the odd and even field tracks of a rotary recording medium. Switches for selectively recording the line signals on the even field and odd field tracks are controlled by the output of an odd/even field selection signal generating circuit. The number of revolutions of the rotating recording medium is determined so that the line signals selectively recorded on the even field and odd field tracks of the rotating recording medium are arranged in the correct order and without leaving any spaces between the line signals or causing the line signals to overlap with each other. When the video signals for one frame have been recorded on the rotating recording medium, the one-frame video signals recorded on the rotating recording medium are repeatedly read out to reproduce a still picture.
