Television camera system

Claim 1

A color television camera system comprising a. two color channel inputs of low resolution for the primary colors red and blue, from which two channels two color signals are obtained, b. a high-resolution channel input from which a luminance signal is derived, the high-resolution channel being provided with a signal having a spectral distribution between the primary color green and light at the eye sensitivity value V , c. frequency discriminator means connected to the highresolution channel input for passing a high-frequency highresolution component of the W signal to a first line and for passing a low-frequency low-resolution component of the W signal, which has resolution equal to the low resolution of said two color signals, to a second line, d. a matrix connected to the two color channel inputs and to the second line for generating a third color signal for the primary color green, said matrix receiving the low-resolution component from the second line and the color signals, e. means in said matrix for obtaining a luminance signal component YL by addition of all matrix inputs, f. means in said matrix for forming a third color signal GL by subtraction of the color signals RL and BL of the respective primary colors red and blue, from the low-resolution luminance signal and g. means for adding said luminance signal component YL with the high-frequency component of the W signal from the first line.
