Abstract
A video disc player includes color burst responsive processing circuitry. A burst killer effectively removes burst from the player output when reproducing monochrome program material whereby an improved quality monochrome picture may be obtained from a color television monitor which may be used with the player. The burst killer is controlled on a field-by-field basis in response to an analog or digital signal manifestation of the reproduced video signal whereby the burst killer is automatically enabled and disabled during reproduction of mixed monochrome-color program material.
