Abstract
Apparatus and method for including color control with an apparatus producing 'black-and-white' signals for a television receiver. Logic circuits, which activate circuits for the generation of the color-carrying video signals, are responsive to coded or uncoded control information included in a chroma control word which comprises a predetermined number of data bits. This control information includes information for color selection and may provide for sequencing of colors across each horizontal line of display of the receiver. This control information may be updated by a micro-processor which controls image movement on the television screen.
