Abstract

A television system with enhanced definition in the field scanning direction is presented. In the information transmitter a video signal source is coupled directly and via line delay device with a subtraction circuit followed by a modulator with a subcarrier. An adding circuit is coupled with the output of the modulator and the source, possibly via the delay device. The resultant difference information is transmitted frequency-interleaved with the video information under control of a movement detector, to the information receiver. The receiver contains a filter circuit for separating the information. The modulated subcarrier goes via a demodulator to a superposition circuit to which further the video information is also supplied. The output of the superposition circuit is connected via a line delay device to one input of a switch-over circuit. The video information is supplied to a second input of the switch-over circuit. The supplied information on said first and second inputs is passed on by the switch-over circuit during alternate line periods. The result is an improvement of picture definition upon display in the field scanning direction.
