Television system for transmitting auxiliary image signals in the black bands in accordance with image motion

Claim 1

A television system, in which a picture is transmitted to a television screen having an aspect ratio of 4:3 form an oblong screen having an aspect ratio which is different from that of said television screen so as to result in the development of no-picture portions within upper and lower sections of said television screen having said aspect ratio of 4:3, which is different from that of said oblong screen, and wherein signals are inserted into said no-picture portions of said television screen such that said signals are used as signals for improving the resolution of said picture upon said television screen, comprising: means for transmitting a first signal obtained by shifting a horizontal signal component, which exceeds the horizontal band determined by means of the lateral width of said television screen which is equal to the width of the scanning raster thereof, down to a lower frequency; means for developing a second signal which is obtained by shifting a vertical signal component, with a band which has a vertical frequency which is greater than the vertical frequency determined by means of the number of scanning lines in the vertical direction of said oblong screen within the portion of said oblong screen wherein said picture si not moving, to a lower frequency; means for developing a third signal which comprises the difference between the scanning lines characteristic of said portion of said oblong screen within which said picture is not moving and a portion of said oblong screen within which said picture is moving; and a picture movement detecting circuit for selectively transmitting either one of said second and third signals, along with said first signal, depending upon detection by said circuit of a non-moving picture portion or a moving picture portion.
