Abstract
The high frequencies of the red, blue and green color television signals, with appropriate individual gain levels, are combined in a mixer having non-additive and additive characteristics, with the standard high frequency luminance signal to obtain a correction signal that is the greatest of the four when all have the same polarity, or in the event any of the four signals has opposite polarity with the others a correction signal that is equal to a linear combination of the two opposite polarity, highest level signals. This correction signal is used to compensate for the violation of the constant luminance principle of a luminance signal that was generated by linear matrixing of gamma corrected color signals. The compensation signal is combined with the luminance signal using a mixer similar to that used to generate the correction signal.
