Copy protection by inserting a phase-shifted color burst signal into the burst interval of an analog color video signal

摘要

An analog color video signal is prevented from being satisfactorily copied by inserting a phase-shifted color burst signal of predetermined duration into a predetermined location of the usual burst interval of that analog color video signal. The predetermined location may precede the normal color burst signal, or it may follow the normal color burst signal or it may be located in the middle of the burst interval.
