A method and apparatus for adaptively controlling the presence of copy protection signals in a video signal depends upon the scene content of the video signal during an upper portion of a display of the video signal. Thus, in the upper portion of the scenes, wherein picture information would be noticeably altered by a hooking process the copy protection process is deactivated or effectively reduced to eliminate or reduce the hooking or tearing effects. The adaptive control of the copy protection improves the playability performance of copy protected video signals on a very small minority of television receivers which display a small hooking or tearing characteristic in the upper portion of the display of the copy protected video signal. |
