Abstract: In field/frame recursive filters for providing noise reduction to composite video signal, inversion of the chrominance component of the composite video signal is obviated by selecting nearest neighbor in-phase field/frame delayed signals for recursion. The system arbitrates between two or more nearest neighbor in-phase signals or combinations thereof and feeds back the signal having an amplitude most closely matching the incoming composite video signal.

Abstract: Frame-to-frame comb filter for separating chrominance and luminance components of composite video signals produce distortions around the periphery of reproduced moving images. The color distortions are corrected by selectively adding the combed luminance signal to the combed chrominance signal during periods of detected motion, and bandpass filtering the combined signal to pass only the chrominance spectrum.

Abstract: A digital finite impulse response (FIR) filter is provided in which a plurality of weighted signal taps are symmetrically located in time about a weighted center tap. Weighted signals from the symmetrically located taps are summed at a first point in the filter, which sum is then combined with signals from the center tap in one sense, that is, either additively or subtractively, to produce signals at a first output. The summed signals at the first point are also combined with signals from the center tap in an opposite sense to produce signals at a second output. The two outputs will exhibit bandpass and lowpass filter response characteristics, with the outputs at which the respective responses are produced being determined by the respective senses of signal combination. The FIR filter may be of either the input tap-weighted or output tap-weighted variety.

Abstract: RCA 76,854 A digital filter is provided which selectively employs straight binary arithmetic and offset two's complement arithmetic in an adder ladder to protect against signal overflows and underflows, as well as to minimize adder size. Signal overflows and underflows are prevented by performing subtraction and certain additions in offset two's complement notation, while adder sizes are minimized by performing certain other additions in binary notation. In an alternate embodiment, positively weighted values are combined by binary addition in a first adder ladder, and negatively weighted values are combined by binary addition in a second, parallel adder ladder. At the outputs of the two ladders, the two sums are converted to offset two's complement notation, and the negatively weighted sum is subtracted from the positively weighted sum.

Abstract: RCA 77,211 A digital filter is provided which produces two output signals exhibiting different output characteristics in response to an input signal. The digital filter includes delaying means comprising a shift register having a plurality of signal taps and a given time delay between its input and output. The delaying means also produces the input signal delayed by at least half the time delay of the shift register. The filter also includes signal coupling means, coupled to the taps of the shift register, for weighting signals passing through it. Circuitry is provided for producing a sum of tap-weighted signals, and is coupled to the signal coupling means and cooperates with the shift register. Two combining means are also included. The first produces a combination in one sense of the tap-weighted signal sum and the delayed input signal at one output. The other produces a combination in the other sense of the tap-weighted signal sum and the delayed input signal at the other output.

Abstract: A frame-to-frame comb filter for separating chrominance (C) Fig. 2(d) and luminance (Y) (c) signals from composite video signals (a), (b) produces objectionable distortions around the edges of moving objects. The distortions are substantially removed by low pass filtering (27) the combed chrominance signal and combining (31) the low pass filtered chrominance signal (e) with the combined luminance signal (c). Color distortions may also be removed by selectively adding the combed luminance signal to the combed chrominance signal during periods of detected motion.
