Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
Apparatus for reducing the bandwidth of video signal data for display, comprising: control means for generating sequential first, second and third independent interleaved binary pulse trains, each of said pulse trains including a plurality of control pulses; first gating means responsive to said first pulse train for generating a first output signal including a selected portion of said video signal data; second gating means responsive to said second pulse train for generating a second output signal including a selected portion of said video signal data other than that portion included in said first output signal; third gating means responsive to said third pulse train for generating a third output signal including a selected portion of said video signal data other than that portion included in said first and second output signals; and fourth, fifth and sixth gating means for respectively connecting said first, second and and third output signals to respective color guns of a color TV display monitor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
159 words
Apparatus for reducing the bandwidth of video signal data for display, comprising: control means for generating sequential first, second and third independent interleaved binary pulse trains, each of said pulse trains including a plurality of control pulses; first gating means responsive to said first pulse train for generating a first output signal including a selected portion of said video signal data; second gating means responsive to said second pulse train for generating a second output signal including a selected portion of said video signal data other than that portion included in said first output signal; third gating means responsive to said third pulse train for generating a third output signal including a selected portion of said video signal data other than that portion included in said first and second output signals; and fourth, fifth and sixth gating means for respectively connecting said first, second and and third output signals to respective color guns of a color TV display monitor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
Apparatus as in claim 1 wherein said color TV display monitor includes green, blue and red guns and said fourth, fifth and six gating means connects said first, second and third output signals respectively to said green, blue and red guns.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
109 words
Apparatus as in claim 1 wherein said first and fourth, said second and fifth, and said third and sixth gating means, respectively, are each a cascode circuit; said first, second and third gating means including a first input responsive to said video signals and a second input responsive to a respective one of said first, second and third pulse trains; each said fourth, fifth and sixth gating means including a first input responsive to said first, second and third output signals respectively, and a second input responsive to a respective one of said first, second and third pulse trains for generating respective fourth, fifth and sixth video output signals.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
75 words
Apparatus as in claim 3 wherein each of said first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth gating means includes first and second transistors each having base, emitter and collector electrodes, said first and second inputs being connected respectively to the base of said first and second transistors, the collector of said second transistor being connected to the emitter of said first transistor and said output signal being generated at the collector of said first transistor.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
Apparatus as in claim 4 wherein said first second and third pulse trains each has a period of 1/90th of a second and 100 control pulses.
