Abstract
Two video signals are precisely gain balanced so that one video signal may be inserted, unnoticeably, into a display derived from the first of the two video signals. To this end, a strobe is generated as the inset video signal is initiated. Both the inset video and the display video signals are sampled at the time said strobe is generated. A difference signal is derived from both samples and the gain of the inset video channel is adjusted in accord with the magnitude of that difference signal in a manner so as to minimize that magnitude.
