Abstract

A digital motion verification circuit for a television system. The circuit synchronizes an actual and a stored signal from an edge motion indicator with the system clock, so that the edge signals are precisely timed and do not have errors from overlapping or mistimed signals. The circuit uses an EXCLUSIVE OR circuit followed by an inverter stage to produce an output when the clock synchronized stored signal and the actual signal have a discrepancy. This EXCLUSIVE OR output signal is applied to the data input of a shift register that produces clock synchronized output signals which, when accumulated to a predetermined number, initiate a motion flag which indicates the presence of several exactly adjacent signals.
