  • Patent number: 5694175
    Abstract: A method for the recognition of video standards, in which an up/down counter is used to detect the polarity of synchronization pulses. Specifically, a value representing a duration is memorized, a counting value (Q) is produced, this value being incremented when a binary synchronization signal (INCI) is in one state and decremented when this signal is in the other state, a comparison is made of the value representing the duration and the counting value, at a given time, of the synchronization signal, and a signal representing the standard is produced as a function of the result of the comparison. This method is implemented by a circuit comprising a microcontroller, a detection circuit producing a pick-up control logic signal (CAP), a counter producing a counting value (Q) and a register to load the counting value when the pick-up control signal is active.

  • Patent number: 5581163
    Abstract: A periodic signal is produced by counting pulses of a clock during a given period of time. The number of pulses counted is divided by a whole number. A count is then made of the number of pulses of this clock whose number corresponds to the quotient of this division. At each batch, a value of a periodic signal is produced.
