Abstract
Abstract A video field decoder is provided in a raster scan interlaced video display system, which decoder provides an indication of whether the odd or even field is currently being displayed. The decoder circuit compares the horizontal and vertical sync signals and provides an output on their coincidence, indicating a given field level (odd or even) is being displayed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
In a raster scan, interlaced video display system which displays a series of frames, each comprising a first field and a second field displayed successively, including a video signal source comprising a horizontal sync signal (1, FIG. 1) and a field sync signal (2, FIG. 1) and further including a synchronizing circuit for generating an internal horizontal sync signal which is synchronized with said horizontal sync signal, the improvements comprising: a video field decoding circuit comprising a comparator (50, FIG. 1) responsive to a coincidence or non-coincidence between the respective rising edges of said internal horizontal sync signal and said field sync signal for generating an output signal indicative of which field is currently being displayed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
In a raster scan, interlaced video display system which displays a series of frames, each comprising a first field and a second field displayed successively, including a video signal source comprising a horizontal sync signal (1, FIG. 1) and a field sync signal (2, FIG. 1) and further including a synchronizing circuit for generating an internal horizontal sync signal which is synchronized with said horizontal sync signal, the improvements comprising: a video field decoding circuit comprising a comparator (50, FIG. 1) responsive to a coincidence or non-coincidence between the respective rising edges of said internal horizontal sync signal and said field sync signal for generating an output signal indicative of which field is currently being displayed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
113 words
A raster scan, interlaced video display system for displaying a series of frames, each comprising a first field and a second field displayed successively, said display system comprising: a video signal source comprising a horizontal sync signal (1 FIG. 1) and a field sync signal (2, FIG. 1); a synchronizing circuit for generating an internal horizontal sync signal which is synchronized with said horizontal sync signal; and a video field decoding circuit comprising a comparator (50, FIG. 1) responsive to a coincidence or non-coincidence between the respective rising edges of said internal horizontal sync signal and said field sync signal for generating an output signal indicative of which field is currently being displayed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
113 words
A raster scan, interlaced video display system for displaying a series of frames, each comprising a first field and a second field displayed successively, said display system comprising: a video signal source comprising a horizontal sync signal (1 FIG. 1) and a field sync signal (2, FIG. 1); a synchronizing circuit for generating an internal horizontal sync signal which is synchronized with said horizontal sync signal; and a video field decoding circuit comprising a comparator (50, FIG. 1) responsive to a coincidence or non-coincidence between the respective rising edges of said internal horizontal sync signal and said field sync signal for generating an output signal indicative of which field is currently being displayed.
