Abstract
An improved digital video signal processing circuit, for common use in the recording and playback modes of a video tape recorder, has a chrominance processing circuit for processing the chrominance signal of the input digital composite video signal through a first baseband mixer, a chrominance processor, and a second baseband mixer, and a luminance processing circuit for frequency modulating/demodulating the luminance signal, so that the processed chrominance and luminance signals can be added together to form an output digital composite video signal. The improved digital circuit automatically regulates the frequencies of the mixing signals for both mixers using line stepping signals obtained from a horizontal line sweep generator in the luminance processing circuit. The possibility of phase errors is eliminated, and quadrature errors in the chrominance signal are prevented.
