Abstract
An electronic image framing circuit is described for eliminating the visible effects of pincushion distortion at the edges of a television image. Toward this end, portions of video lines which extend beyond a selected straight line image boundary are blanked by a pulse processor. The pulse processor responds to conventional horizontal rate and vertical rate pulses for developing blanking pulses whose widths are varied at a vertical rate. The modified blanking pulses are applied to a conventional blanking circuit for blanking the portions of video lines which extend beyond the desired image area. A parabola generator is also described for use in developing the modified blanking pulses.
