Abstract

A complete analog color-T.V. signal is separated into a luminance component and a color component. Each component is digitalized and then written into an RAM sequentially using a first addressing schedule for the write-in. The information is then read-out using a different addressing schedule for the read-out. The thusly read out digitalized components are converted back into analog form and combined to form another complete analog color T.V. signal. This technique makes possible a variety of special effects, including horizontal and/or vertical image compression, the display of a half image and alongide it a mirror-symmetrical version thereof, the storage of four color T.V. images in a manner which is interleaved in both the x and y directions of the memory, and others.
