Abstract
A wide screen video signal is encoded for transmission as a composite signal having standard line and field rates and the standard frequency color burst. The signal includes chrominance components modulated on a color subcarrier frequency greater than the standard in proportion to the aspect ratio of the wide screen signal divided by the aspect ratio of the standard. A decoder converts the wide screen signal to a given broadcast standard without component separation or chroma demodulation by time expanding center samples of each active line of the wide screen signal.
