Video tape recorder of PAL system

摘要

A video tape recorder of the PAL system is disclosed which includes a converter circuit for use in a stop mode of the NTSC system and for converting an inputted composite video signal of the NTSC system into a composite video signal of the PAL system. In the converter circuit, a band-pass filter (2) band-pass-filters a chrominance sub-carrier signal from the inputted composite video signal of the NTSC system, and a low-pass filter (9) low-pass-filters a luminance signal from the inputted composite video signal of the NTSC system. A frequency converter circuit (4) frequency-converts the chrominance sub-carrier signal of the NTSC system into a chrominance sub-carrier signal of the NTSC system whose sub-carrier frequency is a predetermined sub-carrier frequency, and a system converter (7a) converts the chrominance sub-carrier signal into a chrominance sub-carrier signal of the PAL system, and an adder (10) adds the luminance signal from the low-pass filter (9) to the chrominance sub-carrier signal of the PAL system, and outputs a signal of the result of addition as a composite video signal of the PAL system. The above-mentioned converter circuit is constituted by using a recording and reproducing circuit. <IMAGE>
