Abstract
The invention features the generation of timing signals for use in the generation of a video signal. Vertical timing codes and horizontal timing codes are stored in a memory. The horizontal timing codes define regions of at least two types of horizontal timing signals of the video signal, and the vertical timing codes define the timing of the horizontal timing signals. The vertical and horizontal timing codes are stepped through to generate at least one signal indicative of the timing of the horizontal timing signals.
