Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the changeover of a video signal without disturbance of a pattern by bringing the color of the entire screen to be blacky once at input changeover and switching a pattern gradually in a way of pattern feed into a moving picture after the object switching. CONSTITUTION:A start pulse is fed at first to a counter 12 and an output selection switch 5 connects to the position of a fixed data input section 4 through the counter 12. Then an input switching control means 13 controls an input changeover switch 3 or a tuner 2 to switch the pattern into a desired video signal. On the other hand, the counter 12 is initialized by the start pulse and counts a clock at a clock output terminal 9, a pules at a horizontal synchronizing pulse output terminal 10 and a pulse of a vertical synchronizing pulse output terminal 11 to decide a pattern output position and period of pattern B, C and to control an output selection switch 5. Thus, the entire screen is brought into a blacky color only at first and the pattern is switched into an objective switching moving picture sequentially in a way of pattern feed. Thus, the video signal is switched without pattern disturbance.
