Abstract
A system and method for compensating against false color from composite video source information detects when there is a diagonal luminance transition (or a cross pattern) and attenuates combed chrominance information to facilitate a reduction in a false coloring effect. A programmable threshold diagonal transition detector generates a multi-level compensation control signal, such as the amount of chrominance reduction or attenuation (in dB) to effectively notch combed chrominance data, based on a detection of a diagonal transition of luminance data among lines of video data. The multi-level compensation control signal is used by a multi-level compensator to attenuate the combed chrominance information from the 2-D adaptive comb filter.
