Abstract
A digital color encoder for a television camera in which during digitally modulating a carrier of 3f.sub.sc (f.sub.sc is a color subcarrier frequency) with a digital color signal which is obtained by sampling input video information data at a sampling pulse rate having a frequency of 3(n/m)f.sub.sc (with m and n being relatively small integers) at N line the digital color signal is amplitude modulated by 3-phase modulation vectors each having a phase difference of 2/3.pi. from each other so as to produce a digitally modulated color signal. At N+1 line, the digital color signal is amplitude modulated by the 3-phase modulation vectors each having a phase opposite to that at the N line so as to produce an output of N+1 line which is then phase inverted to provide a digital modulated color signal. Thus, a digital color television signal with color phase having the standard television signal format is obtained.
