Abstract
Abstract The video signal processing apparatus of the invention is an apparatus for processing a video signal superimposed on a carrier signal by digitizing. The video signal is sampled at a sampling frequency equal to 2n (where n is 2 or higher integer) times the frequency of the carrier signal to form 2n sample data per period of the carrier signal. After the formed sample data have been memorized in the sampling sequence, the corresponding 2n sample data to one period of the carrier signal are read in a different sequence from that when the aforesaid memorizing was carried out. Thus, the video signal can be processed by using means of simple structure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
A video signal processing apparatus in which a video signal superimposed on a carrier signal is processed by digitizing, comprising: (a) sample data forming means for forming n sample data per period of said carrier signal (where n is a positive integer) by sampling said video signal by a sampling frequency which is about n times the frequency of said carrier signal; (b) memory means for memorizing the sample data formed by said sample data forming means; and (c) write/read control means arranged to memorize the sample data formed by said sample data forming means and to read out, from said memory means, the sample data formed by said sample data forming means to be memorized in said memory means in such a manner that the same n sample data corresponding to one period of said carrier signal are read out and outputted in a reading sequence different from that at the time of memorizing, for m times (where m is an integer of not less than 2), depending upon the magnitude of enlargement of the image size.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
178 words
A video signal processing apparatus in which a video signal superimposed on a carrier signal is processed by digitizing, comprising: (a) sample data forming means for forming n sample data per period of said carrier signal (where n is a positive integer) by sampling said video signal by a sampling frequency which is about n times the frequency of said carrier signal; (b) memory means for memorizing the sample data formed by said sample data forming means; and (c) write/read control means arranged to memorize the sample data formed by said sample data forming means and to read out, from said memory means, the sample data formed by said sample data forming means to be memorized in said memory means in such a manner that the same n sample data corresponding to one period of said carrier signal are read out and outputted in a reading sequence different from that at the time of memorizing, for m times (where m is an integer of not less than 2), depending upon the magnitude of enlargement of the image size.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said memory means includes a memory circuit.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
120 words
An apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said write/read control means includes: (a) a write control circuit for performing memorizing of the sample data by indicating write addresses to said memory circuit which are memorized; and (b) a read control circuit for reading out, from said memory circuit, the sample data formed by said sample data forming means to be memorized in said memory means in such a manner that the addresses corresponding to one period of said carrier signal are assigned to said memory circuit in a sequence different from that at the time of memorizing, for m times (where m is an integer of not less than 2), depending upon the magnitude of enlargement of the image size.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
241 words
A video signal processing apparatus in which a video signal superimposed on a carrier signal is processed by digitizing, comprising: (a) sample data forming means for forming n sample data per period of said carrier signal (where n is a positive integer) by sampling said video signal by a sampling frequency which is about n times the frequency of said carrier signal; (b) memory means for memorizing the sample data formed by said sample data forming means; (c) write/read control means arranged to memorize the sample data formed by said sample data forming means and to read out, from said memory means, the sample data formed by said sample data forming means to be memorized in said memory means in such a manner that the same n sample data corresponding to one period of said carrier signal are read out and outputted in a reading sequence different from that at the time of memorizing, for m times (where m is an integer of not less than 2), depending upon the magnitude of enlargement of the image size; (d) inverted phase sample data forming means for forming the inverted sample data of the reverse phase to that of the sample data read out from said memory means by using the sample data read out from said memory means; and (e) output means for outputting the inverted phase sample data formed by said inverted phase sample data forming means on alternate prescribed periods.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
241 words
A video signal processing apparatus in which a video signal superimposed on a carrier signal is processed by digitizing, comprising: (a) sample data forming means for forming n sample data per period of said carrier signal (where n is a positive integer) by sampling said video signal by a sampling frequency which is about n times the frequency of said carrier signal; (b) memory means for memorizing the sample data formed by said sample data forming means; (c) write/read control means arranged to memorize the sample data formed by said sample data forming means and to read out, from said memory means, the sample data formed by said sample data forming means to be memorized in said memory means in such a manner that the same n sample data corresponding to one period of said carrier signal are read out and outputted in a reading sequence different from that at the time of memorizing, for m times (where m is an integer of not less than 2), depending upon the magnitude of enlargement of the image size; (d) inverted phase sample data forming means for forming the inverted sample data of the reverse phase to that of the sample data read out from said memory means by using the sample data read out from said memory means; and (e) output means for outputting the inverted phase sample data formed by said inverted phase sample data forming means on alternate prescribed periods.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
57 words
An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said video signal is constructed with a plurality of horizontal scanning line signals, and said output means is arranged so that the inverted phase sample data formed by said inverted phase sample data forming means are outputted on every other corresponding sample data period to one horizontal scanning line signal.
