Abstract
This invention discloses a video signal processing circuit of a comb filter arrangement for separating and extracting a luminance signal and a chrominance signal from an input video signal including the luminance signal and the chrominance signal. The input video signal is delayed by a delay circuit by a 1H period, and a 1H-delayed signal is supplied to a band-pass filter. The signal having passed through the band-pass filter is added to the original input video signal by an adding circuit. An output from the adding circuit is supplied to a trap circuit and chrominance signal components are eliminated. Meanwhile, the signal having passed through the band-pass filter is eliminated from the input video signal by a subtracting circuit, and an amplitude of an output from the subtracting circuit is attenuated by an attenuating circuit. A signal corresponding to a period corresponding to an amplitude difference in the chrominance signal between the signal having passed through the band-pass filter and the original input video signal before delay is generated by a switching signal generating circuit. A first switching circuit switches the outputs from the adding circuit and the trap circuit, and a second switching circuit switches the original input video signal and an output from the attenuating circuit.
