Abstract: An arrangement for TV broadcasting outdoor events or the like via a mobile unit (34), which is connected via cables (30, 11, 20) to devices (12, 21, 22) for supplying and/or receiving video, audio or control signals and accommodates corresponding apparatuses (34a) for processing these signals, achieves a reduction in the number of cables and realizes new services, by providing at least one coupling station (10) in which separate optical waveguides (11, 20), outgoing from the individual devices (12, 21, 22), are coupled to a light-wave broadband cable (30), the light-wave broadband cable (30) being connected to a docking station (31) for transferring source signals, the devices (12, 21, 22) and the docking station (31) having electro-optical transducer elements (32) for converting the source signals, and the docking station being connectable to the mobile unit (34).

Abstract: A video signal-processing device, for example a film scanner, including an arrangement for detecting scratches in images of a video signal. To improve the detection of slant scratches, the arrangement for detecting scratches combines a given number (m) of series-arranged pixels (43, 44) of a video image to form a group (45), and to determine a division of the pixels in accordance with given criteria for each group of pixels and, based on this division, to classify the pixel groups in scratch sections and non-scratch sections.

Abstract: A scanner utilizing an illuminating device, monochromatic light sources, and scanning elements to improve the color separation and reduce color crosstalk for generating chrominance component signals. The illumination device illuminates or transilluminates an image by means of the monochromatic light sources. The scanning elements converts the light obtained from the illuminated or transilluminated image into a chrominance component signal. The illumination device is implemented in such a way that the monochromatic light sources illuminate the film frame at positions which are separated from each other. Sensors are arranged in such a way that they are illuminated by the relevant associated light source.
