Abstract:
Cross-coupling of red, blue or magenta light into the green portion of an image produced by a light valve projector is greatly reduced by limiting the maximum slope of the walls forming the ends of portions of the green diffraction grating to a value which avoids excessive refraction. This is accomplished by altering the passband of the modulated carrier producing the green diffraction grating such that, for high video frequencies, single sideband modulation occurs. Alternatively, the slew rate of the video signal modulating the carrier producing the green diffraction grating may be limited.
Abstract:
Chrominance frequency components in the luminance channel of a color television camera are reduced by a luminance channel notch filter having substantially linear phase characteristics and adjustable notch depth. The luminance notch is developed by subtraction of a bandpass-filtered video signal from the overall video input signal. The filter, which exhibits symmetrical transient response, improved low light level noise performance and minimizes spurious color effects due to interaction of chrominance signal components with the luminance signal.
