Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 87 words
A color television signal producing device comprising: generating means for generating two auxiliary sub-carriers of the same frequency but having a phase difference of 90° C.; a carrier color signal producing means for modulating the two sub-carriers with an input color signal into the carrier color signal; detecting means for detecting a predetermined color phase of said input color signal; and control means for variably controlling amplitude and/or color phase of the at least one of the carriers in response to the output of said detecting means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 87 words
A color television signal producing device comprising: generating means for generating two auxiliary sub-carriers of the same frequency but having a phase difference of 90° C.; a carrier color signal producing means for modulating the two sub-carriers with an input color signal into the carrier color signal; detecting means for detecting a predetermined color phase of said input color signal; and control means for variably controlling amplitude and/or color phase of the at least one of the carriers in response to the output of said detecting means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 22 words
A color television signal producing device in accordance with claim 1 further comprising image pick-up means for picking up the object image.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 34 words
A color television signal producing device according to claim 1, wherein said detecting means produces a predetermined output in correspondence to values of a blue color difference signal and a red color difference signal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 37 words
A color television signal producing device according to claim 3, wherein said detecting means produces a predetermined output in correspondence to the positiveness or negativeness of said blue color difference signal and said red color difference signal.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 35 words
A color television signal producing device according to claim 1, wherein said carrier color signal producing means includes an integrated circuit which is separated from said generating means, the detecting means and the control means.
