Abstract
A DC restoration circuit for an AC coupled television receiver includes means for converting an input video voltage signal to a corresponding video current signal and for abstracting from the video current signal a DC current feedback signal, the remaining video current signal being reconverted to a corresponding output video voltage having a DC voltage component. A feedback loop including a clamp capacitor is operable during the back porch of the horizontal blanking interval for establishing the level of the DC current feedback signal to equalize the values of the DC component of the output video voltage and a black level reference voltage derived from a manually operable brightness control.
