In a color image display system formed of a monochromatic CRT or like image display device (102) having a screen (103) for display of images and a rotary filter (106) comprising color filter sections (106R, 106G and 106B) of a plurality of colors; image signals are read from memories (130R, 130G, 130B) at a rate higher than they are written in the memories, so as to reduce flickers. The problem of passing of the reading address over the writing address is solved by reading the image signal of prominent color taking a period in which the passing over occurs. High frequency components of other color image signals are extracted and added to the image signal of each color to thereby enhance the definition of the picture.

Phase inversion control pulse generating circuit

A color image display system includes a monochromatic CRT or similar image display device which includes a screen for display of images and a rotary filter having filter sections of a plurality of colors. The system further includes memories for storing color image signals corresponding to each of the colors. A control circuit reads the color image signals from the memories at a higher rate than the color image signals are written into the memories to reduce image flickering. The reading operation, however, passes over the writing operation. Discontinuities caused by this passing over are reduced by reading a color image signal corresponding to a less prominent color during the passing over. Discontinuities are avoided by providing an additional memory in the system and alternately reading and writing between one of the first set of memories and the additional memory. The system also adds to each color image signal read from a memory the extracted high frequency components from the other color image signals to enhance picture definition.

Color image display device

A video signal processing apparatus, video signal recording/reproduction apparatus, and method therefor, perform arithmetic operations upon an input video signal and the input signal delayed by a predetermined amount of time. A memory stores the input signal for the predetermined amount of time in order to produce the delayed input video signal. A controller controls the memory to store the input video signal for the predetermined amount of time based on a main synchronization signal. A first synchronization signal is produced by separating a synchronizing signal from the input video signal. A second synchronization signal is generated based on the first synchronization signal. During operation, a switching unit supplies the first synchronization signal to the controller as the main synchronization signal until the second synchronization signal becomes synchronized with the first synchronization signal. Once the second synchronization signal becomes synchronized with the first synchronization signal, the switching unit supplies the second synchronization signal to the controller as the main synchronization signal. In this manner, jitter caused by noise or distortion in the first synchronization signal separated from the input video signal is eliminated by the switching to the second synchronization signal. The second synchronizing signal is not affected by noise or waveform distortion; and consequently, arithmetic operations in the correct time axis are performed.

Video signal processing apparatus, video signal processing method, and

An improved helical scan type video taperecorder for reproducing a high quality video signal with no distortions, and thereby eliminating a sag distortion is provided by applying a continuous reproduced video signal prepared by inserting FM signals reproduced by a pair of rotary heads into no-signal field intervals of a FM signal reproduced by a single rotary head, only the FM signal from which is used for displaying, to a clamp circuit. Also, a skew distortion is eliminated by providing one horizontal scanning period of 1H between the last horizontal pulse in a signal field interval and the first horizontal pulse in a no-signal field interval of a reproduced video signal regardless of a type of scanning such as an interlace scanning for causing no disturbance in horizontal synchronization, and a phase distortion is eliminated by combining a pseudo-vertical synchronizing signal, which has a specific phase relationship with a video tape phase standard signal at any traveling speed of the video tape, with a reproduced video signal for causing no disturbance in vertical synchronization.
