Abstract
A signal processing circuit for a color television camera has filters supplied with a multiplex input signal. The direct wave signal includes a plurality of amplitude-modulated color component signals obtained from a camera tube of a color television camera. The tube filters the high-frequency components of the input signal. Detection and processing circuits detect the output signal of the high-pass filter and produce signals having restored DC components. The circuit provides gamma correction, white clipping, linear clipping, blanking signal mixing, or like signal processing with respect to the produced signal. A low-pass filter passes the input signal from the camera tube and filters the direct wave signal of the input signal. A processing circuit processes the output signals of the low-pass filter, and a matrix circuit matrixes the output signals of the detection and processing circuits to obtain three primary color signals. A color encoder provides a composite color video signal from the three primary color signals produced by the matrix circuit.
