Method and apparatus for improving the rise and fall time of a video signal

摘要

The edges of an incoming video signal are sharpened by switching the output furnishing the sharpened signal in sequence first to receive a signal delayed by a greater amount, i.e. a signal which has not as yet undergone transition, and, secondly, to receive a signal delayed by a lesser amount, i.e. one that has already completed the transition. The rise time of the affected edge thus depends only on the time required to switch from one terminal to the next. The same switching sequence is carried out regardless of whether the transition is a negative going or positive going transition.
