Abstract
The circuit configuration provides for the combined color decoding and decimation of a video signal, particularly for picture-in-picture insertion in television sets. The color subcarrier is determined from a video signal for the purpose of recovering the chrominance signal components. The video signal is multiplicatively combined with orthogonal color subcarrier components and then filtered through low-pass filters. For the luminance signal components, the video signal is filtered by a further low-pass filter. In order to obtain decimated luminance and chrominance signal components, subsampling is carried out after the low-pass filters. Given suitable dimensioning of the low-pass filters matched to the decimation factor, a single low-pass filter in each of the chrominance signal paths is sufficient and, in the luminance signal path, an otherwise necessary notch filter is obviated.
