Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent color flurring and to improve visual image resolution by suppressing the amplitude level of a chrominance signal in the neighborhood of the edge of a luminance signal based on the edge neighborhood information signal of the luminance signal. CONSTITUTION:When either recording or reproducing is to be executed, an edge information extracting means 10 extracts the edge neighborhood information signal of the luminance signal and outputs the edge neighborhood information signal to a level control means 11. The level control means 11 suppresses the amplitude level of the chrominance signal in the neighborhood of the edge of the luminance signal based on edge neighborhood information extracted by the edge neighborhood information extracting means 10. Thus, the level of the chrominance signal is to be suppressed in the neighborhood of the edge of the luminance signal, color swelling (color flurring) in a horizontal direction in the neighborhood of a part where brightness is changed can be suppressed, and the visual image resolution can be improved.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention separates a luminance signal and a chrominance signal, frequency-modulates the luminance signal, and converts the chrominance signal to a lower frequency band. This invention relates to a video tape recorder (VTR) that records data.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, the color information of a composite video signal of the NTSC system handled by this type of consumer VTR uses color subcarriers modulated along two orthogonal axes, and the carrier is the high frequency part of the luminance signal component. are selected and superimposed in a frequency interleaving relationship. Therefore, the above-mentioned VT for recording and reproducing such signals
In R, the phase of the chrominance subcarrier represents hue information, so after separating the luminance signal and chrominance signal, the luminance signal is frequency modulated (FM modulation), and the influence of rotational unevenness, jitter, etc. is comparatively reduced on the chrominance signal. The mainstream is to adopt a configuration in which recording and playback is performed by converting the frequency to a low frequency band that is difficult to receive. At this time, since the magnetic tape is for consumer use, it is necessary to reduce the amount of magnetic tape used, so the current situation is that the color signal band is not made as wide as possible.

However, in recent years, television receivers have become larger in screen size, and consumer VTRs are also required to have high resolution performance. Therefore, regarding the luminance signal, FM
The modulation carrier is shifted up to widen the band of the luminance FM signal, and standards such as ED beta and 5-VH3 are being made. On the other hand, the color band has been expanded in recent years due to the fact that it has been converted to a lower frequency.
This is not done because the mainstream practice is to FM modulate the audio signal and record it on tape by superimposing it between the bands of the low-frequency conversion color signal and the luminance FM signal, so measures to improve color resolution have not been done. At present, this is not being discussed. For this reason,
Horizontal color bulge (color fringing) in the reproduced video signal
This is conspicuous and becomes a bottleneck in achieving high image quality of recording and reproduction signals of VTRs. As a solution to this problem, various methods have been proposed, such as decoding the subcarrier color signal into a color difference signal, enhancing the outline of the color signal, and then encoding it again into the subcarrier color signal. In either case, complicated processing must be performed, making them unsuitable for use in consumer VTRs.

At present, there is no suitable method for improving color bleeding. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and provides a video tape recorder with visually high resolution by preventing color bleeding with a simple configuration and without expanding the carrier band of color subcarriers.
