Abstract
Abstract A digital color television system is described in which only one chrominance component of the video color television signal is transmitted for each televi-sion line, and digital delay means is employed for delaying at least one of the two chrominance components I and Q of the color television signal so that the delayed chrominance component can be added to the transmitted television signal to produce output signals having both chrominance components. The system includes a recording apparatus for recording the digital color television signal on a record which may be an optical or magnetic record, and a playback apparatus for playing back the recorded signal to a television receiver or other utilization device. A gate means is provided in the recording apparatus for selectively transmitting a conventional digital color television signal having two chrominance components as an altered digital television signal having only one chrominance component per line which is different on alternate lines, As a result, the amount of information stored on the record is greatly reduced. In one embodiment of the system, the two chrominance components I and Q are recorded between luminance words Y with different chrominance components recorded in alternate television lines. A single digital storage means such as a shift register is used in the playback apparatus. In the other embodiment, the chrominance components are recorded at the end of each television line in the horizontal blanking region, with different chrominance components being recorded in alternate lines. This necessitates two digital storage means of the recirculating type in the playback unit, one storage means for each of the two chrominance components because both are recorded out of their proper sequence with the luminance words.
Description
~V344 ~ he subject matter of tne present invention relates to a digital color television system in general and more specifically to such a system in which only one of the two chrominance components I and Q is trans-mitted and/or recorded for each television line and digital delay means is used to delay the chrominance component of an adjacent line to enable it to be combined with that of the transmitted line to produce an output television signal having both chrominance components per line.

in Phili~s Technical Review, Vol. 33, pages 178-185, 1973, No. 7, to record and playback video television signals on optical records. However, records on the order of 30 centimeters in diameter were required for storing 30 minutes of television programming. By using the televi~ion system of the present invention to record and playback a digital television signal, the amount of information to be stored i8 greatly reduced which of course enables a reduction in size of the records and/or increased playing time per record.
It is therefore one object of the present invention to provide an improved digital color televi-sion which reduces the amount of transmitted video signal information by transmitting only one of the two chrominance signal components per television line with different chrominance components used in alternate lines.
Another object of the invention is to provide such a television system in which a digital delay means is employed to delay at least one chrominance component and to combine it with the transmitted video signal to produce an output signal having both chrominance compo-nents in each television line.
A further object of the present invention is to provide such a television system including a recording apparatus for recording the transmitted digital video television signal after it i~ altered to contain only a single chrominance component in order to reduce the amount of video signal information per television line which is stored on the record.
An additional ob;ect of the invention is to provide such a television system including a playback - , ~ . :
1()~0344 apparatus for playing back the record and transmitting the recorded digital television signal through the digital delay means to produce a delayed chrominance component which, when added to the transmitted signal, produces an output video signal having two chrominance components per line.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide . - .
such a color television system in which the two different chrominance components are recorded in the horizontal blanking period of alternate tele-vision lines to provide a further reduction of the recorded information density.
According to the broadest aspect of the invention there is pro-vided a digital color television system comprising: input means for supply-ing a digital video color television line signal including a luminance signal component and two different chrominance signal components, said input means including a plurality of digital storage means for storing said digital line signal components so that said two chrominance components are each stored in different storage means; gate means connected to the outputs of .

As shown in Figure 1, one embodiment of the digital color tele- :

, , , . , . : -~080344 12 with a record and/or playback unit 14 connected between the output of the recording circuit 10 and the input of the playback circuit 12. The output of the playback circuit 12 is connected to a conventional television receiver 16. The recording circuit 10 includes an analog color television signal source 18 which sup~lies an analog video signal including a luminance component Y and two chrominance components I and Q to the inputs of analog to digital converters 20, 22, and 24 respectively. This analog video signal is converted to a digital video signal which i9 changed to the altered digital video signal A of Fig. 2 in a manner hereafter described.
The converters convert the analog signals into digital qignals and transmit such digital signals to a Y word buffer 26, an I word buffer 28, and a Q word buffer 30 respectively connected to the outputs of converters 20, 22, and 24. A clock pulse generator 32 which i8 synchronized to the analog video signal source 18 transmits bit pulses B to the buffers 26, 28, and 30 along line 34 to clock the digital information from the converters 20, 22, and 24 into such buffers, In addition, the output 34 of the clock 32 is connected to a divide by N counter 36, which divides the bit pulses by N, the number of bits per luminance word, to produce luminance word pulses ~ at output 38 which are trans-mitted to the converter 20 to cause it to produce luminance words Y of digital bits. As a result, the A to D converter 20 transmits luminance words into the ., 30 Y word buffer 26 at the bit frequency B. The output 38 of counter 36 is also transmitted through a divide by M
. .
10803~4 counter 40 which divides the Y word pulses C by ~l, the number of Y words per I or Q chrominance words, to produce chrominance word pulses D at output 42. The chrominance word pulses D are tran~mitted to the analog to digital converters 22 and 24 to cause them to trans-mit digital output words to the buffers 28 and 30, For example, if counter 36 is a divide by 5 counter, while counter 40 is a divide by 3 counter to provide the pulses B, C, and D of Fig, 2, one I or Q word i~ trans-mitted to the buffers for every three Y words trans-mitted to buffer 26.
Readout of the buffer~ is provided by gating pulses G and H which are generated at the outputs 44 and 46, respectively, of a sequence control logic circuit 48. The sequence control logic circuit 48 is of conven-tional deslgn with a plurality of flip-flops and gates whose conduction is controlled by the input pul~es B, C, D, F, and K a~ shown in Fig, l, The Y gating pulses G are applied to the buffer 26 and to an AND gate 50, also connected to the output of such buffer, in order to transmit the luminance words Y from the buffer to the output of gate 50. The I and Q gating pulses H are applied to both buffer~ 28 and 30 and to AND gates 52 and 54 respectively connected to the outputs of such buffers. Gates 52 and 54 also have inputs connected to the alternate outputs 56 and 58 of a bistable flip-flop 60 which produces alternate line gating pulses E and F
on outputs 56 and 58 re~pectively, Thus, flip-flop 60 is triggered once per line by the line pulse K output 62 of a divide by P counter 64, connected to the output 34 of clock 32, where P is the number of bits per television ;

line. As a result of the line gating pulses E and F
generated on alternate lines, the AND gates 52 and 54 are rendered conducting on different lines to transmit the I word signals and Q word signals through such gates to two of the inputs of an OR gate 66. The output of OR gate 66 is connected as the output of the recording circuit 10 to the input of the record and playback unit 14. Another input of the OR gate 66 is connected to the output of the AND gate 50, for transmitting the Y words through such OR gate. The fourth input of the OR gate 66 i8 connected to a control code output 68 of the sequential control circuit 48. As shown in Fig. 2, the control code pulses M are produced on output 68 at the beginning of the line to provide the line start and color phase information, and at the end of the line to provide line end and sync information.
The record and playback unit 14 record~ the altered digit:al video television signal A transmitted from the outE~ut of the record circuit 10 as shown at the top of Fig. 2. Thi~ altered video ~ignal A cons~sts of Y words which, in the example given, are 4 bits wide, such Y words being separated by single bits of I or Q
chrominance information. As noted above, the I and Q
bits alternate between adjacent television lines so only one chrominance component is recorded on each line. Of course the width of the recorded Y words and I or Q
words is set by the gate signals G and H respectively, ... .
since the A~D gates 50, 52, and 54 are only conducting when these gate signals are positive.
The record and playback unit 14 may be a conventional magnetic tape recorder or it may be an )344 optical digital recording and playback unit as shown in United States Patent 3,501,586 of J.T. Russell, issued March 17, 1970, or in copending ~nited States Patent application Serial No. 516,453 of J.T. Russell, filed December 21, 1974, abandoned in favor of continuation application Serial No.

The playback apparatus 12 may be separate from the recording apparatus 10, in which case a separate playback unit is provided, such as when using an optical record. The electrical output signal of the playback -unit 14 is transmitted from an output 70 to the input of a data shift register 72. The digital data is fed into the shift register 72 at a frequency determined by clock pulses T produced by a clock generator 74. The data :
shift register 72 transmits luminance words Y through parallel outputs to a Y word buffer 76, whose parallel outputs are connected to a digital to :
analog converter 78. The data shift register 72 also produces a series out-put 86 for I and Q words corresponding to the I or Q blts of the altered video signal A. These I or Q words are fed to the input of a digital storage means 80 such as a shift register, which stores the I or Q words for a time ~.
duration equal to one television line and produces a delayed chrominance word It or Q~ at output 82 which is delayed one line from the input words I
or Q. The I or Q bits are clocked out of the shift register 72 by timing pulses T/N supplied by a divide by N counter 83. The divide by N counter connected to the output of clock 74, produces Y word clock pulses T/N, where N is the number of bits per word. A divide by 3 counter 84 is connected to the output of counter 83 and produces I or Q word clock pulses T/N/3 :

10~344 which are applied to the I and Q buffers 104 and 108 to clock the outputs of such buffers to the D to A
converters as hereafter described. As shown in Fig. 2, the recorded signal A has a single I or Q bit recorded between each Y word. Assuming it requires 3 I or Q
bits to form one I or Q word, each of the buffers 104 and 108 has its output clocked by the T/N/3 pulses of counter 84 to produce I or Q words at its output. It should be noted that the I and Q bits on output 86 of register 72 are derived from the same line of the altered video signal A as the Y words transmitted to buffer 76, while the delayed I' or Q' bits at output 82 of storage register 80 are derived from the previous line of the recorded ~ignal.
A pair of AND gate~ 88 and 90 are provided with one input of gate 88 connected to the output 86 of the data ~hift regi~ter 72 and one of the inputs of gate 90 connected to the delayed output 82 of the storage r0gi~ter 80. Similarly a ~econd pair of AND gates 92 and 94 is provided with one of the inputs of gate 92 connected to the output 86 of the shift register 72 while ! one of the inputs of gate 94 is connected to the delayed output 82 of the storage register 80. The other inputs of gate 88 and 94 are connected together to the R gate signal output 96 of a code detect circuit 98 while the other inputs of AND gate~ 90 and 92 are connected together to the S gate signal output 100 of such code ; detect circuit. The gate signals R and S are line gate signals which are produced alternately for the duration of alternate television lines as shown in Fig, 2.
The outputs of AND gates 88 and 90 are 10~ 4~
connected through an OR gate 102 to the input o~ I word buffer 104. Similarly AND gates 92 and 94 have their outputs connected through another OR gate 106 whose out-put is connected to Q word buffer 108. As a result either the undelayed I bits or the delayed I bits, I', are transmitted to the I buffer 104 during each televi-sion line signal, while either undelayed Q bits or delayed Q bits, Q', are transmitted to the Q buffer 108 during each television line. The buffers 104 and 108 have clocking input~ connected to the T/N output of counter 83 and clocking outputs connected to the T/N/3 output of counter 84, 50 that such buffers produce parallel chrominance word outputs X and Z once for each 3 luminance word output W of buffer 76. The parallel outputs of the buffers 104 and 108 are connected to the digital to analog converters 110 and 112 respectively which convert the parallel digital signal into series analog signal~l, The analog output~ of converters 78, 110, and 112 respectively transmit analog luminance words Y and chrominance word~ I and Q to a conventional NTSC modulator 114 which modulates such signals into a composite analog NTSC color video signal at output 116 while receiving clock pul~es T from clock 74 and a composite sync signal at input 118. A composite ~ync signal is produced by a composite sync generator 120 who~e two input~ are connected respectively to a hori~ontal ~ync 124 and vertical sync 122 of the code detect circuit 98. The code detect circuit 98 has its inputs connected to parallel outputs 126 of the data shift regicter 72, which ~upplies coded information to the code detect circuit _g_ ,. . , , . . , ~o8034~
during the time of control code pulse M at the beginning and end of the recorded line signal A. Of course, a composite analog video signal produced at output 116 of the playback circuit 12 may be applied to a conven-tional television receiver 16 for display, Another embodiment of the digital color televi-sion system of the present invention, shown in Figs. 3 and 4, is similar to that of Figs. 1 and 2 so that the same reference numerals have been used to designate like components in both. Thu3, the digital Y signal is trans-mitted from the analog to digital converter 20 into a Y
line storage circuit 128, such as a shift register which stores the luminescent signal Y for one television line to delay the Y words a first time delay Dl. The analog to digital converter 20 i.s gated by the Y word clocking pulses C produced by counter 36 only during the time of an enabling signal L shown in Fig. 4, which is applied to an AND gate 130 connected between the output of clock 32 and the input of counter 36. This enabling signal L
i5 produced at an output 132 of the sequence control logic circuit 48'. It should be noted that since the counter 40 i8 connected between the output of counter 36 and the analog to digital converters 22 and 24, such converters are also clocked by pulse~ D only during the enabling signal L. Thus, the analog to digital converters 20, 22, and 24 only transmit digital output signals correr sponding to the Y words and the I and Q words during the time of the enabling signal L.
The output of converter 22 is connected to an I storage circuit 134 while the output of converter 24 is connected to a Q storage circuit 136. The two storage . . .
1~8~34~
circuits 134 and 136 which may be shift registers, only ~tore the I and Q words for a short second time delay, D2 in Fig. 4, which is less than one television line. As a result of the Y line storage 128, the altered digital video signal A transmitted during the period of the Y gate signal G through the AND gate 50 and the OR
gate 66 to the recorded playback unit 14, includes Y
words from the previous televi~ion line. The I and Q
gate signals H are produced by the sequence control logic circuit 48' at a time immediately after the "end of line'l word at the end of the Y words in the altered video signal A, as shown in Fig. 4. Thus, the gating signal H and the corresponding I and Q word~ in the altered video signal A are delayed a delay time D2 equal to the time between the end of the first Y word of the line to the end of the "end of line" word. It 3hould be noted that timing pulses J corresponding in frequency to the hit pul8es B are E~roduced at output 138 of the sequence control logic 48' and applied to both of the storage circuits 134 and 136. ~s a result, the I or Q words are recorded after the Y words at the end of the television line, As stated previously, the recorded Y words are actually taken from the previous line due to the full line delay of storage circuit 128. Like the embodiment of Fig, 1, the I and Q chrominance words only appear in different alternate lines of the altered video signal transmitted from the record circuit 10' to the recorder unit.
The playback circuit 12' of Fig. 3 differs from that of Fig, 1 in tha~ the data shift register 72' does not provide a series output for the I and Q words but ~3~
instead transmits them along with the Y words through parallel outputs to the word buffer 76' which also may be a shift register. Buffer 76' provides a series output 86' for the I or Q words, which are fed to one of the inputs of each of a pair of AND gates 138 and 140. The other inputs of AND gates 138 and 140 are respectively connected to the R gating signal output 96 and the S
gating signal output 100 of the code detector circuit 98 to render the AND gate~ conducting on alternate lines of the altered video signal A. The output of AND gate 138 is connected to an I storage circuit 142 while the output of AND gate 140 is connected to a Q storage cir~
cuit 144, both of which may be recirculating type shift registers. The recirculating storage circuits 142 and 144 each have two series outputs which are transmitted into one of a pair of series to parallel converters and buffers 146 and 148. Thus, the I and Q storage circuits 142 and 144 each have a fir~t output 15n and 152 on which an I or Q word is produced, having a short time delay D3 less than one television line and corresponding to the reciroulation time from the end to the beginning I of the shift registers. In addition, the I and Q storage circuits each have a second output 154 and 156 on which a delayed I' or Q' word i~ produced with a long time delay D4 slightly greater than one television line, as shown in Fig. 4.
As a result of the above discussed time delays, Dl, D2, D3, and D4, the output signal of the buffers to the D to A converters 78, 110, and 112 for a given televi-sion line includes Y words and I or Q words from the firstprevious line and Q' or I' words from the second . , .

previous line. Thus the analog video output signal of the NTSC modulator 114 includes a Y component and an I or Q component from the same television line, and a delayed Q' or I' component from the next line so that it is similar to the analog video output signal in Fig.
1. However, the embodiment of Figs. 3 and 4 has the additional advantage that the color signal components I and Q of the altered digital video signal A are trans-mitted and recorded during the horizontal blanking period following the end of the line of luminance components Y. This further reduces the amount of digital information which must be stored on the optical or magnetic record by the record and playbac~ unit 14.
It will be obvious to one having ordinary skill in the art that many changes may be made in the above described details of the preferred embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the invention, Therefore, the ~cope of the present invention should only be determined by the following claims.

By using the televi~ion system of the present invention to record and playback a digital television signal, the amount of information to be stored i8 greatly reduced which of course enables a reduction in size of the records and/or increased playing time per record.

The chrominance word pulses D are tran~mitted to the analog to digital converters 22 and 24 to cause them to trans-mit digital output words to the buffers 28 and 30, For example, if counter 36 is a divide by 5 counter, while counter 40 is a divide by 3 counter to provide the pulses B, C, and D of Fig, 2, one I or Q word i~ trans-mitted to the buffers for every three Y words trans-mitted to buffer 26.
Readout of the buffer~ is provided by gating pulses G and H which are generated at the outputs 44 and 46, respectively, of a sequence control logic circuit 48. The sequence control logic circuit 48 is of conven-tional deslgn with a plurality of flip-flops and gates whose conduction is controlled by the input pul~es B, C, D, F, and K a~ shown in Fig, l, The Y gating pulses G are applied to the buffer 26 and to an AND gate 50, also connected to the output of such buffer, in order to transmit the luminance words Y from the buffer to the output of gate 50. The I and Q gating pulses H are applied to both buffer~ 28 and 30 and to AND gates 52 and 54 respectively connected to the outputs of such buffers. Gates 52 and 54 also have inputs connected to the alternate outputs 56 and 58 of a bistable flip-flop 60 which produces alternate line gating pulses E and F
on outputs 56 and 58 re~pectively, Thus, flip-flop 60 is triggered once per line by the line pulse K output 62 of a divide by P counter 64, connected to the output 34 of clock 32, where P is the number of bits per television ;

line. As a result of the line gating pulses E and F
generated on alternate lines, the AND gates 52 and 54 are rendered conducting on different lines to transmit the I word signals and Q word signals through such gates to two of the inputs of an OR gate 66. The output of OR gate 66 is connected as the output of the recording circuit 10 to the input of the record and playback unit 14. Another input of the OR gate 66 is connected to the output of the AND gate 50, for transmitting the Y words through such OR gate. The fourth input of the OR gate 66 i8 connected to a control code output 68 of the sequential control circuit 48. As shown in Fig. 2, the control code pulses M are produced on output 68 at the beginning of the line to provide the line start and color phase information, and at the end of the line to provide line end and sync information.
The record and playback unit 14 record~ the altered digit:al video television signal A transmitted from the outE~ut of the record circuit 10 as shown at the top of Fig. 2. Thi~ altered video ~ignal A cons~sts of Y words which, in the example given, are 4 bits wide, such Y words being separated by single bits of I or Q
chrominance information. As noted above, the I and Q
bits alternate between adjacent television lines so only one chrominance component is recorded on each line. Of course the width of the recorded Y words and I or Q
words is set by the gate signals G and H respectively, ... .
since the A~D gates 50, 52, and 54 are only conducting when these gate signals are positive.
The record and playback unit 14 may be a conventional magnetic tape recorder or it may be an )344 optical digital recording and playback unit as shown in United States Patent 3,501,586 of J.T. Russell, issued March 17, 1970, or in copending ~nited States Patent application Serial No. 516,453 of J.T. Russell, filed December 21, 1974, abandoned in favor of continuation application Serial No.
727,369, filed September 27, 1976, now United States Patent 4,090,031 issued May 16, 1978.
The playback apparatus 12 may be separate from the recording apparatus 10, in which case a separate playback unit is provided, such as when using an optical record. The electrical output signal of the playback -unit 14 is transmitted from an output 70 to the input of a data shift register 72. The digital data is fed into the shift register 72 at a frequency determined by clock pulses T produced by a clock generator 74. The data :
shift register 72 transmits luminance words Y through parallel outputs to a Y word buffer 76, whose parallel outputs are connected to a digital to :
analog converter 78. The data shift register 72 also produces a series out-put 86 for I and Q words corresponding to the I or Q blts of the altered video signal A. These I or Q words are fed to the input of a digital storage means 80 such as a shift register, which stores the I or Q words for a time ~.
duration equal to one television line and produces a delayed chrominance word It or Q~ at output 82 which is delayed one line from the input words I
or Q. The I or Q bits are clocked out of the shift register 72 by timing pulses T/N supplied by a divide by N counter 83. The divide by N counter connected to the output of clock 74, produces Y word clock pulses T/N, where N is the number of bits per word. A divide by 3 counter 84 is connected to the output of counter 83 and produces I or Q word clock pulses T/N/3 :

:
10~344 which are applied to the I and Q buffers 104 and 108 to clock the outputs of such buffers to the D to A
converters as hereafter described. As shown in Fig. 2, the recorded signal A has a single I or Q bit recorded between each Y word. Assuming it requires 3 I or Q
bits to form one I or Q word, each of the buffers 104 and 108 has its output clocked by the T/N/3 pulses of counter 84 to produce I or Q words at its output. It should be noted that the I and Q bits on output 86 of register 72 are derived from the same line of the altered video signal A as the Y words transmitted to buffer 76, while the delayed I' or Q' bits at output 82 of storage register 80 are derived from the previous line of the recorded ~ignal.
A pair of AND gate~ 88 and 90 are provided with one input of gate 88 connected to the output 86 of the data ~hift regi~ter 72 and one of the inputs of gate 90 connected to the delayed output 82 of the storage r0gi~ter 80. Similarly a ~econd pair of AND gates 92 and 94 is provided with one of the inputs of gate 92 connected to the output 86 of the shift register 72 while ! one of the inputs of gate 94 is connected to the delayed output 82 of the storage register 80. The other inputs of gate 88 and 94 are connected together to the R gate signal output 96 of a code detect circuit 98 while the other inputs of AND gate~ 90 and 92 are connected together to the S gate signal output 100 of such code ; detect circuit. The gate signals R and S are line gate signals which are produced alternately for the duration of alternate television lines as shown in Fig, 2.
The outputs of AND gates 88 and 90 are 10~ 4~
connected through an OR gate 102 to the input o~ I word buffer 104. Similarly AND gates 92 and 94 have their outputs connected through another OR gate 106 whose out-put is connected to Q word buffer 108. As a result either the undelayed I bits or the delayed I bits, I', are transmitted to the I buffer 104 during each televi-sion line signal, while either undelayed Q bits or delayed Q bits, Q', are transmitted to the Q buffer 108 during each television line. The buffers 104 and 108 have clocking input~ connected to the T/N output of counter 83 and clocking outputs connected to the T/N/3 output of counter 84, 50 that such buffers produce parallel chrominance word outputs X and Z once for each 3 luminance word output W of buffer 76. The parallel outputs of the buffers 104 and 108 are connected to the digital to analog converters 110 and 112 respectively which convert the parallel digital signal into series analog signal~l, The analog output~ of converters 78, 110, and 112 respectively transmit analog luminance words Y and chrominance word~ I and Q to a conventional NTSC modulator 114 which modulates such signals into a composite analog NTSC color video signal at output 116 while receiving clock pul~es T from clock 74 and a composite sync signal at input 118. A composite ~ync signal is produced by a composite sync generator 120 who~e two input~ are connected respectively to a hori~ontal ~ync 124 and vertical sync 122 of the code detect circuit 98. The code detect circuit 98 has its inputs connected to parallel outputs 126 of the data shift regicter 72, which ~upplies coded information to the code detect circuit _g_ ,. . , , . . , ~o8034~
during the time of control code pulse M at the beginning and end of the recorded line signal A. Of course, a composite analog video signal produced at output 116 of the playback circuit 12 may be applied to a conven-tional television receiver 16 for display, Another embodiment of the digital color televi-sion system of the present invention, shown in Figs. 3 and 4, is similar to that of Figs. 1 and 2 so that the same reference numerals have been used to designate like components in both. Thu3, the digital Y signal is trans-mitted from the analog to digital converter 20 into a Y
line storage circuit 128, such as a shift register which stores the luminescent signal Y for one television line to delay the Y words a first time delay Dl. The analog to digital converter 20 i.s gated by the Y word clocking pulses C produced by counter 36 only during the time of an enabling signal L shown in Fig. 4, which is applied to an AND gate 130 connected between the output of clock 32 and the input of counter 36. This enabling signal L
i5 produced at an output 132 of the sequence control logic circuit 48'. It should be noted that since the counter 40 i8 connected between the output of counter 36 and the analog to digital converters 22 and 24, such converters are also clocked by pulse~ D only during the enabling signal L. Thus, the analog to digital converters 20, 22, and 24 only transmit digital output signals correr sponding to the Y words and the I and Q words during the time of the enabling signal L.
The output of converter 22 is connected to an I storage circuit 134 while the output of converter 24 is connected to a Q storage circuit 136. The two storage . . .
1~8~34~
circuits 134 and 136 which may be shift registers, only ~tore the I and Q words for a short second time delay, D2 in Fig. 4, which is less than one television line. As a result of the Y line storage 128, the altered digital video signal A transmitted during the period of the Y gate signal G through the AND gate 50 and the OR
gate 66 to the recorded playback unit 14, includes Y
words from the previous televi~ion line. The I and Q
gate signals H are produced by the sequence control logic circuit 48' at a time immediately after the "end of line'l word at the end of the Y words in the altered video signal A, as shown in Fig. 4. Thus, the gating signal H and the corresponding I and Q word~ in the altered video signal A are delayed a delay time D2 equal to the time between the end of the first Y word of the line to the end of the "end of line" word. It 3hould be noted that timing pulses J corresponding in frequency to the hit pul8es B are E~roduced at output 138 of the sequence control logic 48' and applied to both of the storage circuits 134 and 136. ~s a result, the I or Q words are recorded after the Y words at the end of the television line, As stated previously, the recorded Y words are actually taken from the previous line due to the full line delay of storage circuit 128. Like the embodiment of Fig, 1, the I and Q chrominance words only appear in different alternate lines of the altered video signal transmitted from the record circuit 10' to the recorder unit.
The playback circuit 12' of Fig. 3 differs from that of Fig, 1 in tha~ the data shift register 72' does not provide a series output for the I and Q words but ~3~
instead transmits them along with the Y words through parallel outputs to the word buffer 76' which also may be a shift register. Buffer 76' provides a series output 86' for the I or Q words, which are fed to one of the inputs of each of a pair of AND gates 138 and 140. The other inputs of AND gates 138 and 140 are respectively connected to the R gating signal output 96 and the S
gating signal output 100 of the code detector circuit 98 to render the AND gate~ conducting on alternate lines of the altered video signal A. The output of AND gate 138 is connected to an I storage circuit 142 while the output of AND gate 140 is connected to a Q storage cir~
cuit 144, both of which may be recirculating type shift registers. The recirculating storage circuits 142 and 144 each have two series outputs which are transmitted into one of a pair of series to parallel converters and buffers 146 and 148. Thus, the I and Q storage circuits 142 and 144 each have a fir~t output 15n and 152 on which an I or Q word is produced, having a short time delay D3 less than one television line and corresponding to the reciroulation time from the end to the beginning I of the shift registers. In addition, the I and Q storage circuits each have a second output 154 and 156 on which a delayed I' or Q' word i~ produced with a long time delay D4 slightly greater than one television line, as shown in Fig. 4.
As a result of the above discussed time delays, Dl, D2, D3, and D4, the output signal of the buffers to the D to A converters 78, 110, and 112 for a given televi-sion line includes Y words and I or Q words from the firstprevious line and Q' or I' words from the second . , .

previous line. Thus the analog video output signal of the NTSC modulator 114 includes a Y component and an I or Q component from the same television line, and a delayed Q' or I' component from the next line so that it is similar to the analog video output signal in Fig.
1. However, the embodiment of Figs. 3 and 4 has the additional advantage that the color signal components I and Q of the altered digital video signal A are trans-mitted and recorded during the horizontal blanking period following the end of the line of luminance components Y. This further reduces the amount of digital information which must be stored on the optical or magnetic record by the record and playbac~ unit 14.
It will be obvious to one having ordinary skill in the art that many changes may be made in the above described details of the preferred embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the invention, Therefore, the ~cope of the present invention should only be determined by the following claims.
