Abstract
Video signal apparatus processes a time-division-multiplex (TDM) video signal which has a buffer segment between luminance and chrominance component segments. The apparatus includes a circuit which provides to an output transmission path, a TDM video signal having a compressed luminance segment including a series of time-compressed samples of varying signal value representing the luminance component of a color video signal and a compressed chrominance segment including a series of time-compressed samples of varying signal value representing the chrominance component of the color video signal. A control controls the circuit to form a buffer segment between the luminance and chrominance segments. During the buffer segment, the signal value of the TDM signal is caused to change from the value of the last sample of one segment to the value of the first sample of the next segment by applying to the output transmission path the signal value of the first sample of the next segment.
