Abstract
A discontinuous motion special effects generator for television is described including a memory means responsive to a television video signal for storing signals representing a television picture field and memory control means for controlling the writing and reading of the picture fields. This generator includes means for automatically providing control pulses at a rate for desired discontinuous motion. The generator further includes means coupled to the memory control means and responsive to the control pulses for writing a single picture field of video only on the occurrence of each control pulse whereby the video output changes only on the occurrence of each control pulse.
