Abstract
Abstract A drop-out corrector circuit for video signals read from a recording medium such as a video disk or the like. Predetermined components, specifically envelope components, are detected in the high-frequency signal read from the disk including the video signal. The output level of the detection signal thus produced is compared with a reference level, and a drop-out detection signal is produced as the result of this comparison.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
A drop-out corrector circuit for video signals comprising: detecting means for detecting specific predetermined components of high-frequency signals including said video signals; comparator means for comparing the output level of said detector means with a reference level and producing a drop-out detection pulse in response to the results of the comparison; and means for varying said reference level according to the level of a luminance signal component of said video signals.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words
