Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve a delay characteristic by constituting a delay unit of a delaying digital memory provided with an AD converter and a DA converter before and behind it, and feeding-back the output of the DA converter, as it is being a pulse amplitude modulated wave, to the input side of a delay unit. CONSTITUTION:The delay unit 15, which is constituted in such a way that the AD converter 13 to perform the AD conversion of an output video signal Vo(t) which is an object to be delayed, and the DA converter 14 to perform the DA conversion of a delayed output video signal Vo(t-tau) are connected before and behind the delaying digital memory 12, is used. The DA converter 14 is directly connected to a coefficient multiplier 5 without passing through a low pass filter circuit, therefore the delayed output video signal Vo(t-tau)which has been pulse-amplitude-modulated, is fed-back to the input side of the delay unit 15 without being smoothed. Namely, since the pulse amplitude modulated wave is made to circulate without being smoothed, at the time of the AD conversion in the AD converter 13, a conversion error is decreased on the contrary.

[Prior Art] Magnetic recording and reproducing devices such as video tape recorders used for home use suffer from frequency fluctuations that increase as the frequency increases.
In order to remove the triangular noise peculiar to the demodulation method, generally
A method is used to reduce noise in the luminance signal by emphasizing high-frequency components using a pre-emphasis circuit before frequency modulating the luminance signal, and canceling the high-frequency emphasis using a de-emphasis circuit during signal reproduction. .

However, since the luminance signal that has passed through the de-emphasis circuit also contains noise, for example, a cyclic noise reduction device l shown in FIG. 3 may be connected to the reproduction output terminal 10 of the magnetic recording and reproduction circuit. The illustrated cyclic noise reduction device 1 suppresses noise components by utilizing the difference in properties between a video signal with a high field or frame correlation and a noise component with almost no correlation between them, and reduces the output video signal Vo. (t)
It is called a cyclic type because it is delayed and cyclically added to the input video signal Vi(t). Input video signal Vi(t)
is supplied to the adder 3 via the coefficient multiplier 2 whose coefficient is 1-. Then, from the adder 3, the input video signal Vi(t
) with reduced noise included in the output video signal Vo (t)
On the other hand, the signals are supplied to the delay device 4 in parallel due to a signal delay corresponding to (1) field period or l frame period.

The delayed output video signal Vo (at t-) obtained by passing through the delay device 4 having a signal delay time of τ has a coefficient K which is in the complement of l with respect to the coefficient 1- of the coefficient multiplier 2. By passing through the coefficient unit 5 having KVo(t-τ), it is supplied to the adder 3, where it is added to the input video signal Vi(t).

Therefore, the output video signal Vo (t) is (1-K)Vi
(t) + KVo (t-r), and add K to the input video signal Vi (t) and the delayed output video signal Vo (-τ) as a complementary coefficient 1- whose sum is 1. The sum of the multiplied signals becomes the output video signal Vo (t). In this case, it is known that a higher degree of SN improvement can be obtained by bringing the coefficient K of the coefficient unit 5 closer to 1 and increasing the number of frames subject to correlation. The closer they are, the better the SN improvement is, but on the other hand, the number of fields or frames to be correlated increases, resulting in afterimages becoming more noticeable for fast-moving moving images.

このため、通常は、原映像信号の劣化の程度に合わせて
適当な係数値Kが選択される。
For this reason, an appropriate coefficient value K is normally selected depending on the degree of deterioration of the original video signal.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional cyclic noise reduction device, all circuits have an analog circuit configuration, so special attention must be paid to the phase when reducing noise using field correlation or frame correlation of video signals. Regarding the management problem, it is difficult to manage the delay time in the delay device 4, and the input video signal V
Regarding fluctuations in the synchronization of i (t), there is a problem that the noise reduction effect tends to deteriorate as a result of adding together video signals having a weak correlation. Therefore, delay device 4 is
