Abstract
A time base corrector for use in defluttering video signals employs a pair of analog shift registers which functionally sandwich a buffer register. Signals are serially applied to one register, say at a fluttering rate; then parallel shifted to the buffer register; then parallel shifted to the second analog shift register; then serially clocked out of the second analog shift register at a reference rate. With such signal processing, successive signals always follow the same signal path, thereby avoiding the prior art need for complementary circuit components. Components of the time base corrector form parts of a solid state device, means being provided therefor to assure that charge vestiges cannot occur after charge shifting.
