Abstract
A digital encoder for use with digital luminance and chrominance signals having black levels includes a level adjusting circuit which adjusts the chrominance and luminance signals to establish a predetermined relationship between the black levels of the level-adjusted chrominance and luminance signals, a chrominance signal with a predetermined relatively large dynamic range thereof modulating circuit which generates a modulated chrominance signal from the level-adjusted chrominance signal, an adding circuit which receives the modulated chrominance signal and the level-adjusted luminance signal and provides an encoded color video signal therefrom, an attenuator circuit which attenuates the encoded color video signal and a circuit for combining sync and burst signals with the attenuated encoded color video signal and with a predetermined pedestal level to provide a composite color video signal within the predetermined dynamic range.
