Abstract: A system for reducing flickers in converting non-interlaced video signals to interlaced video signals is disclosed. The non-interlaced video signals are first modified by two independent adjustable parameters, each having a different weight on the received signals. A FIFO line buffer is used to delay respectively and alternatively the two modified signals to generate a portion of output signals. The final output interlaced signals are generated by combining the delayed signal from the FIFO line buffer with one of the two modified signals. As a result and for the first time, only one FIFO line buffer is used in such system for producing a converted interlaced signal with minimum visual errors in video signal conversions.

Abstract: A technique to derive a television color subcarrier frequency signal from a computer video signal is described. A computer generates a computer video signal including a horizontal synchronization signal component. The horizontal synchronization signal component is applied to a subcarrier frequency generator to produce a pixel clock signal and a subcarrier relative phase signal which are applied to a digital encoder. The digital encoder processes the computer video signal, the pixel clock signal, and the subcarrier relative phase signal to generate an analog baseband television signal. The subcarrier frequency generator includes a frequency conversion circuit, a timing source, and a deviation compensator. The conversion circuit receives the horizontal synchronization signal and generates the pixel clock signal. The timing source is used to generate a reference clock signal.
