Abstract
Abstract A dual picture video signal processisng circuit performs a subpicture processisng after the Y/C separation when a composite video signal is supplied. When separate Y and C signals are supplied, the circuit performs the subpicture processing directly to the Y and C signals. By this feature the circuit automatically performs the subpicture processing both for the composite video signal and the separate Y and C signals for the subpicture, and deterioration of the picture quality of the subpicture is prevented.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
A dual picture video signal processing circuit comprising: first input means for receiving a composite video signal or separate Y and C signals as signal(s) for a main picture; second input means for receiving a composite video signal or separate Y and C signals as signal(s) for a subpicture; first separating means for separating said composite video signal supplied from said first input means into Y and C signals; second separating means for separating said composite video signal supplied from said second input means into Y and C signals; selecting means for selecting either of said Y and C signals supplied from said first input means and said Y and C signals supplied from said second input means; subpicture signal processing means for performing a subpicture signal processing to either of said Y and C signals supplied from said second input means and said Y and C signals supplied from said second separating means; and superimposing means for superimposing said Y and C signals processed by said subpicture signal processing means on said Y and C signals passed through said selecting means.
