  • Patent number: 4075661
    Abstract: An apparatus is described for automatically restoring the loss of high frequency components in the luminance signal of a television receiver. The luminance signal is continuously sampled and a signal representing the high frequency content in the luminance signal is used to alter the frequency characteristics of the luminance signal path so as to maintain the frequency spectrum of the luminance signal substantially constant. Additionally, the frequency alteration of the luminance signal path is made responsive to the dynamic level of the video signal to provide increased peaking in the gray picture areas relative to the higher level whites. The system also functions to reduce the upper video spectrum noise level.
