Abstract
Abstract A time base error signal generating apparatus which outputs a phase difference signal representing a phase difference between a horizontal sync signal and a reference signal as a time base error signal. In accordance with the phase status of a vertical sync signal with respect to the reference signal, supply of the horizontal sync signal or reference signal to a phase comparator is inhibited. Therefore, a single, phase comparator can detect the phase difference while avoiding problems such as a phase offset.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
212 words
A time base error signal generating apparatus for detecting an error of a time base of a reproduced video signal containing a first playback sync signal of a predetermined period and a second playback sync signal of a longer period than the predetermined period and generating a time base error signal, the apparatus comprising: phase comparing means for detecting a phase difference between the first playback sync signal and a first reference sync signal; detecting means for detecting a status of the phase of the second playback sync signal with respect to a second reference sync signal, and generating a first control signal, in case of an advanced phase, for a period according to the degree of the advancement, and generating a second control signal, in case of a delayed phase, for a period according to the degree of the delay; and gate means for inhibiting supply of the first reference sync signal to the phase comparing means in response to the first control signal for a duration thereof, and inhibiting supply of the first playback sync signal to the phase comparing means in response to the second control signal for a duration thereof, whereby the phase difference signal from the phase comparing means is output as the time base error signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
