DISPOSITIVO DE PROCESSAMENTO DE SINAL DE TELEVISAO DE ECRAN LARGO COM UNIFORMIDADE DE RESOLUCAO DE IMAGEM DE PAINEL CENTRAL E LATERAL

摘要

An NTSC compatible widescreen EDTV system encodes and decodes a television signal (N) comprising (1) a main, standard format NTSC signal with auxiliary low frequency side panel image information compressed into an overscan region thereof; (2) auxiliary high frequency side panel image information (X); and (3) auxiliary high frequency horizontal luminance information (Z). At an encoder, components 2 and 3 are intraframe averaged (64, 76) before modulating an alternate subcarrier (80). Component 1 is intraframe averaged (38) exclusive of the compressed side panel information before being combined (40) with the modulated alternate subcarrier.
