Abstract: A frame comb type composite video decoder which does not require motion adaptive processing circuitry generates low frequency luminance signal components from one field of composite video signal. The high frequency luminance component is derived from two lines of composite video signal from each of two fields disposed before and after the field from which the low frequency luminance signals is developed.

Abstract: In a digital television receiver, a digital signal processing system generates samples of binary coded color mixture digital signals that are a representation of color picture information. The values of binary coded coefficients that convert the representation of the color picture information into binary coded color difference signals are stored in a memory accessed by a microprocessor. In response to adjustment of controls such as contrast and tint, the microprocessor modifies the coefficients. The modified coefficients are placed in a digital store such as a latch arrangement. A multiplier arrangement receives samples of the color mixture digital signals as first inputs for multiplying them by corresponding modified coefficients that are supplied by the digital store as second inputs.
