Abstract
A television receiver includes an interface circuit enabling the production of on-screen displays of alpha-numeric type information in a selected color. The interface circuit is responsive to a blanking signal for reducing the red, green and blue video signals developed in response to a received NTSC color television signal below the blanking level of the television receiver. A digital signal representing selected alpha-numeric type information is coupled from a character generator to the interface circuit for increasing the potential at one or more of the electron guns of the receiver for producing a corresponding on-screen display in a selected color.
