Abstract: A video recorder, includes: a filter for performing a comb-filtering operation and supplying a comb-filtered component of a video signal; controllable influencing apparatus for terminating the output of the comb-filtered component and activating instead, the propagation of the non-filtered component; transition detection apparatus for detecting a vertically extending transition and supplying characteristic information upon detection of such a transition; control information generating apparatus, arranged between the transtion detection apparatus and the influencing apparatus, for generating control information enabling the termination of the output of the comb-filtered component and the activation of the propagation of the non-filtered component for a period of time which is longer than possible by means of the characteristic information.

Abstract: In a video recorder (1) for the recording and reproduction of picture signals in standard-play modes and long-play modes a reconverted picture color signal supplied by a frequency-conversion stage (70) is passed through a delay device (84) having a delay of one line period in order to compensate for reproduction-dependent time errors during multi-speed reproduction of a long-play recording. In such a video recorder (1) a rectangular detection signal of half the line frequency is supplied to an output (76) of a phase detection stage (73) which detects the phase of the burst signal in the reconverted picture color signal, which detection signal is applied, via a connection (91), to a modulator (36) for the modulation of non-modulated character signals as a control signal (S2) for the modulator (36), which generates modulated character signals suitable for insertion into the reproduced picture signals.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement for a color image recording and reproduction instrument(video recorder) or a color television receiver. Such devices have a phase regulation circuit in which an oscillator (18, 59) is controlled in accordance with the phase comparison between the color synchronization signal and a reference signal performed in a phase comparator circuit (9, 40). A control signal from the phase comparator circuit is applied to at least two scanning and locking units (12, 13; 49 to 52) which can be changed over successively and cyclically. These units scan the control signal during the color synchronization blanking time. The output signals of the scanning and locking units (12, 13; 49 to 52) are applied to an adder (16, 54) coupled to the oscillator (18, 59). The interference signals arising from the PAL changeover and superimposed on the control signal are thus eliminated.
