Abstract
A method of generating an orthogonally sampled video signal based on a line phase measure. In a first aspect the input signal is sampled by a clock locked to the average line frequency of a video input and the resulting samples are time shifted, optionally with or without interpolation, to an orthogonal sampling grid. In a second aspect input samples are taken and shifted to an orthogonal sampling grid according to a line phase measure. The line phase measure can be derived from a number of measurements or interpolated. In one embodiment a delay is employed so that a measure of a later sample is used to shift an earlier sample.
