Abstract

Abstract A color video signal recording system in which a quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal is produced by subjecting a subcarrier to quadrature two-phase balanced modulation by two color signals; and a demodulation-purpose reference phase signal is produced which has the same frequency as that of the subcarrier and which is to be frequency-interleaved with the quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal. The quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal and the demodulation-purpose reference phase signal together with a carrier luminance signal are multi-plexed and the multiplex signal recorded.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 87 words
A color video signal recording system comprising means for producing a quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal by subjecting a subcarrier to quadrature twophase balanced modulation by two color signals, means for producing a demodulation-purpose reference phase signal which has the same frequency as that of the subcarrier and which is to be frequency-interleaved with said quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal, means for multiplexing said quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal and said demodulation-purpose reference phase signal together with a..carrier luminance signal, and means for recording said multiplex signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 87 words
A color video signal recording system comprising means for producing a quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal by subjecting a subcarrier to quadrature twophase balanced modulation by two color signals, means for producing a demodulation-purpose reference phase signal which has the same frequency as that of the subcarrier and which is to be frequency-interleaved with said quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal, means for multiplexing said quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal and said demodulation-purpose reference phase signal together with a..carrier luminance signal, and means for recording said multiplex signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 40 words
The color video signal recording system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal and the demodulation-purpose reference phase signal are selected to have the frequency lower than the lower band of the carrier luminance signal.
Claim 4
Independent Claim 118 words
A system for reproducing a color video signal recorded on a recording medium, said color video signal being provided by multiplexing a quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal obtained by subjecting a subcarrier to quadrature two-phase balanced modulation by two color signals and a demodulation-purpose reference phase signal which has the same frequency as that of said subcarrier and which is to be frequency-interleaved with said quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal together with a carrier luminance signal, said reproducing system comprising means for separating said carrier luminance signal, said multiplexed quadrature 2-phase balancemodulated color signal and said demodulation-purpose phase signal, and means for demodulating said quadrature 2-phase balance-modulated color signals on the basis of the separated reference phase signal.
Claim 5
Independent Claim 118 words
A system for reproducing a color video signal recorded on a recording medium, said color video signal being provided by multiplexing a quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal obtained by subjecting a subcarrier to quadrature two-phase balanced modulation by two color signals and a demodulation-purpose reference phase signal which has the same frequency as that of said subcarrier and which is to be frequency-interleaved with said quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal together with a carrier luminance signal, said reproducing system comprising means for separating said carrier luminance signal, said multiplexed quadrature 2-phase balancemodulated color signal and said demodulation-purpose phase signal, and means for demodulating said quadrature 2-phase balance-modulated color signals on the basis of the separated reference phase signal.
