Circuit for including a copy-inhibit signal with a video signal

摘要

A spurious signal SSP whose frequency spectrum is located at frequencies [(N+(1/2))xfh] is multiplexed with a luminance signal Y so as to keep an interleaved relation between the spurious signal SSP and the luminance signal Y and the resultant signal is transmitted. When the spurious signal SSP is detected, the recording operation is inhibited. The spurious signal SSP is multiplexed with the luminance signal Y at a level such as not to exert an influence on the picture quality when the video signal is reproduced and seen by a monitor screen.
