A television display apparatus includes a character generator (36) for producing alphanumeric or graphic characters to be displayed along with, or in place of, the video information in a received video signal. An oscillator (18), asynchronous with a horizontal synchronizing component of the video signal (being a free-running oscillator or an oscillator locked to a multiple of the color subcarrier frequency of the video signal), supplies a clock signal to the character generator for controlling the timing of displayed character elements. A delay circuit (600), coupled in the clock signal input path to the character generator (36) or (Fig. 1) to the output of the character generator, imparts an effective delay to the character elements dependent on the time relationship between the clock signals as produced by the oscillator and the horizontal synchronizing component of the video signal. The delay compensates for temporal and spatial distortions of displayed characters which otherwise could occur. |
