Image pickup apparatus for producing an inhibited image signal

摘要

Disclosed is an image pickup apparatus in which a phase control gradually shifts the phase of an image signal produced from an image pickup relative to the phase of a vertical synchronization signal. An inhibit device is provided to inhibit the portion of the image signal which corresponds to the phase difference relative to the synchronization signal. Thus a special effect of "scrolling" is obtained. A level control is provided to control the signal level of the image signal so that the signal at the input of the inhibit device is maintained at a proper level.
