Abstract
A noise reduction circuit for a video signal comprises a plurality of circuit parts coupled in series and a control circuit. Each of the circuit parts comprises a delay circuit for delaying an input video signal supplied thereto, a first subtracting circuit for subtracting an output signal of the delay circuit from the input video signal, a limiter circuit for limiting the amplitude of an output signal of the first subtracting circuit, and a second subtracting circuit for subtracting an output signal of the limiter circuit from the input video signal and for producing a signal which is reduced of a noise component within the input video signal. The delay circuit in each of the circuit parts has a different delay time in accordance with a kind of correlation existing in information contents of the input video signal. The control circuit comprises a plurality of detecting circuits provided in correspondence with the circuit parts and a control signal supplying circuit. Each of the detecting circuits is supplied with the output signal of the first subtracting circuit of a corresponding circuit part and detects large amplitude signal components thereof.
