Video storage system

Claim 3

A system as claimed in claim 1 wherein each of said sub groups of information is a horizontal line of picture information from a television waveform and a complete group of information is complete frame of a television waveform, and frame identifying indicia is also received by said system, further comprising a. means responsive to said frame identifying indicia for generating all of the horizontal and vertical sync pulses and equalizing pulses necessary for a single frame of a television waveform, and b. means for combining said constructed complete group of information with said horizontal sync, vertical sync and equalizing pulses whereby a television waveform having complete picture and synchronous information is formed.

Claim 4

A system as defined in claim 2 wherein all of said received information is in pulse coded form, said read-out means further comprising a converter for converting the sub groups of information stored in said memory into analog television picture information.

Claim 5

A receiver for reconstructing video information in proper frame format from received signals, said received signals being in a periodic format with each period including a frame reference signal in pulse coded form, a plurality of horizontal lines of video information each in pulse coded form, said plurality being substantially less than the number of horizontal lines of video information per video frame and each of said plurality of lines representing a different line of a complete video frame, and a pulse code word associated with each said line of video information identifying the proper position of said line in a video frame, said receiver comprising, a. addressable memory means for storing all the horizontal lines of video information in pulse coded form required for a complete frame of video information, b. means responsive to said received code words for writing the associated received coded lines into addresses, respectively, of said memory means identified by said code words, c. means responsive to said received frame reference signal for generating a complete sequence of horizontal line synchronizing pulses for a complete video frame, and d. means responsive to said complete sequence of horizontal line synchronizing pulses for reading out the entire contents of said memory means in the ordered sequence of first line, second line, third line, to the last line.

Claim 6

A receiver for reconstructing video information in proper frame format from received signals, said received signals being in a periodic format with each period including a frame reference signal in pulse coded form, a plurality of horizontal lines of video information each in pulse coded form, said plurality being substantially less than the number of horizontal lines of video information per video frame and each of said plurality of lines representing a different line of a complete video frame, and a pulse code word associated with each said line of video information identifying the proper position of said line in a video frame, said receiver comprising, a. addressable memory means for storing all the horizontal lines of video information in pulse coded form required for a complete frame of video information, b. means responsive to said received code words for writing the associated received coded lines into addresses, respectively, of said memory means identified by said code words, c. means responsive to said received frame reference signal for generating a complete sequence of horizontal line synchronizing pulses for a complete video frame, and d. means responsive to said complete sequence of horizontal line synchronizing pulses for reading out the entire contents of said memory means in the ordered sequence of first line, second line, third line, to the last line.

Claim 7

A receiver as claimed in claim 4 wherein said means responsive to said frame reference signal further comprises means for generating a complete video frame sequence of vertical synchronizing pulses, horizontal synchronizing pulses and equalizing pulses, and where said receiver further comprises, a. decoder means responsive to the entire contents read from said memory means for converting said pulse coded lines of video information into lines of analog viedo information and, b. combiner means for combining said lines of analog video information with said complete frame sequence of vertical and horizontal synchronizing pulses and equalizing pulses to form a complete reconstructed video signal.

Claim 8

A receiver As claimed in claim 5 wherein said memory means comprises, a. a first addressable memory having a plurality of addressable storage locations at least equal in number to the number of lines of video information per video frame, b. a second addressable memory means having a plurality of addressable storage locations equal in number to said first memory means, and c. transfer means responsive to said received frame reference signal for transfering the entire contents of said first memory to said second memory.

Claim 9

A receiver as claimed in claim 6 wherein said means for writing is connected to said first memory means, and said means for reading out is connected to said second memory means.
