Abstract: A synchronizing arrangement includes a window circuit (WINC1,WINC2) for generating a periodic window signal (LW,RW), and a gate circuit (GC) for supplying a periodic gating pulse (Hp). The gating pulse (Hp) is related to a presented synchronizing pulse (Hs) if the presented synchronizing pulse (Hs) occurs during the window signal (LW,RW). The gate circuit (GC) generates the gating pulse (Hp) related to a leading edge of the window signal (LW) if the presented synchronizing pulse (Hs) occurs before the start of the window signal (LW,RW), and the gate circuit (GC) generates the gating pulse (Hp) related to a trailing edge of the window signal (RW) if the presented synchronizing pulse (Hs) occurs after the end of the window signal (LW,RW).

Abstract: A picture display device includes a generator for generating a periodical staircase-shaped signal for addressing picture elements on display screen. The initial value of the staircase shape is settable and a stepwise change takes place each time upon the occurrence of clock pulses. The height of the steps is determined by the following measures:measuring the value of the staircase shape at a predetermined measuring instant or measuring the instant when the staircase shape is at a predetermined level,comparing the measured quantity with a predetermined target value,deriving a new value from this comparison and from the set initial value for the height of the steps of the staircase shape, for which new value the difference between the measured quantity and the target value has a predetermined value, andsetting the height of the steps of the staircase shape at this new value.
