Abstract
A system for scanning recorded information processes a video output of the scanner in a manner providing a digital representation of dark and light portions of the information scanned. A reference voltage derived from each pulse or slope of the video output provides a reference against which the original pulse or slope can be compared to indicate transition of the slope across the reference voltage to generate a digital output representative thereof.
