Abstract
A video signal apparatus processes a time-division-multiplex (TDM) video signal. The TDM signal includes a compressed sync, a compressed chrominance component constituting a series of time compressed samples of a chrominance component of a color video signal, a compressed luminance component constituting a series of time compressed samples of a luminance component of the color video signal and a buffer between the compressed chrominance component and compressed luminance component. The durations of each of the compressed sync, the compressed chrominance component, the compressed luminance component and the buffer are divisible by the same number (preferably an integral number) greater than one in order to reduce the speed, cost and complexity of timing and control circuitry.
