Abstract
Abstract A non-copiable videotape recording system includes a synchro signal separator adapted to separate a horizontal and a vertical synchro signal from a synchro signal section of a video signal, a first-pulse generator adapted to generate a first pulse while the video signal is in the duration of the back porch which follows the horizontal synchro signal, wherein the first pulse has a narrower width than that of the back porch, a second-pulse generator adapted to generate a second pulse having a lower level than that of the first pulse while the video signal is in the duration of the back porch following the horizontal synchro signal, wherein the second pulse has a narrow width than that of the back porch and has a substantially equal pulse-area to that of the first pulse, and means for adding the first pulse and the second pulse alternately to the back porch of the video signal at predetermined time intervals.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A non-copiable videotape recording system comprising: a synchro signal separator for separating a horizontal synchro signal and a vertical synchro signal from a synchro signal section of a video signal; a first-pulse generator for generating a first pulse at a given time while said video signal is during the back porch succeeding said horizontal synchro signal, said first pulse having a narrower width than that of said back porch; a second-pulse generator for generating a second pulse with a lower level than that of said first pulse at a given time while said video signal is during said back porch, said second pulse having a narrower width than that of said back porch and a substantially equal pulse-area to that of said first pulse; and means for adding said first and second pulses alternately to said back porch of said video signal at the back porch thereof at predetermined time intervals.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
151 words
A non-copiable videotape recording system comprising: a synchro signal separator for separating a horizontal synchro signal and a vertical synchro signal from a synchro signal section of a video signal; a first-pulse generator for generating a first pulse at a given time while said video signal is during the back porch succeeding said horizontal synchro signal, said first pulse having a narrower width than that of said back porch; a second-pulse generator for generating a second pulse with a lower level than that of said first pulse at a given time while said video signal is during said back porch, said second pulse having a narrower width than that of said back porch and a substantially equal pulse-area to that of said first pulse; and means for adding said first and second pulses alternately to said back porch of said video signal at the back porch thereof at predetermined time intervals.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
146 words
A non-copiable videotape recording system comprising: a synchro signal separator for separating a horizontal synchro signal and a vertical synchro signal from a synchro signal section of a color video signal; a first-pulse generator for generating a first pulse at a given time while the color burst signal succeeding said horizontal synchro signal, said first pulse having a width unequal to the period of the frequency of said color burst signal; a second-pulse generator for generating a second pulse with a lower level than that of said first signal during said color burst signal, said second pulse having a substantially equal pulse-area to that of said first pulse and having a width not reaching the leading edge of the luminance signal section of said color video signal; and means for adding said first and second pulses alternately to said color burst signal at predetermined time intervals.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
146 words
A non-copiable videotape recording system comprising: a synchro signal separator for separating a horizontal synchro signal and a vertical synchro signal from a synchro signal section of a color video signal; a first-pulse generator for generating a first pulse at a given time while the color burst signal succeeding said horizontal synchro signal, said first pulse having a width unequal to the period of the frequency of said color burst signal; a second-pulse generator for generating a second pulse with a lower level than that of said first signal during said color burst signal, said second pulse having a substantially equal pulse-area to that of said first pulse and having a width not reaching the leading edge of the luminance signal section of said color video signal; and means for adding said first and second pulses alternately to said color burst signal at predetermined time intervals.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A non-copiable videotape recording system as defined in claim 2, wherein said first pulse is generated synchronously with the leading edge of said color burst signal.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A non-copiable videotape recording system as defined in claim 2, wherein said second pulse covers the whole range of said color burst signal.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
A non-copiable videotape recording system as defined in claim 3, wherein said second pulse covers the whole range of said color burst signals.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
A non-copiable videotape recording system as defined in claim 2, 3, 4 or 5, wherein said time intervals are between 1000 seconds and the period of time required for one horizontal scanning.
