Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the picture quality while keeping the compatibility with a conventional system by multiplexing an information signal onto a frequency band higher than a white clip frequency of an FM modulation signal and recording the signal. CONSTITUTION:A luminance signal from a video camera or a video signal source is inputted to an input terminal 1 and a color signal is inputted to an input terminal 2. The luminance signal is inputted to an FM modulator 6 via an LPF 3 and an emphasis circuit 4 and outputted to a frequency multiplexer 11 through an HPF 6, the color signal is frequency-converted to a lower frequency than a luminance signal band by a frequency conversion circuit 7 and an LPF 8 and the band is limited to 400kHz. Moreover, the high frequency component of the color signal extracted by an HPF 9 is modulated by an FN modulator 10 into a higher frequency band than a white clip frequency. The three kinds of signals obtained in this way are superimposed by the frequency multiplexer 11, the result is amplified by a recording amplifier 12 and the result is recorded on a tape 14 via a head 13. Thus, the picture quality is improved by adding newly an information signal while keeping compatibility with a conventional recording system.

Conventional technology Video signal processing in a home video tape recorder (VH3 system) converts a luminance signal (Y signal) to 3.4 to 4.4M.
FM modulated in Hz band, color signal (C signal) is 629kHz
A method is adopted in which the frequency is converted and superimposed on the FM wave of the luminance signal. In this low frequency conversion color signal recording method, the color signal band is limited to 400 kHz. Furthermore, the band of the luminance signal is not sufficient for improving image quality, and it is basically important to further widen these bands in order to improve image quality.

In video signal processing in the S-VHS system, when performing FM modulation on a luminance signal, the carrier frequency is set high and the frequency band is widened from 5.4 to 7.0 MHz to achieve high image quality (high definition). We are trying to Furthermore, the color signal band is almost the same as the band of the VH3 system, and from the viewpoint of improving image quality, it is necessary to further expand this band.
