Recording and reproducing system for color video signals.

摘要

A color video signal recording system comprises means (5, 6) for producing a quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal by subjecting a subcarrier to quadrature two-phase balanced modulation by two color signals, means (10) for producing a demodulation-purpose reference phase signal which has the same frequency as that of the subcarrier and which is to be frequency-interleaved with said quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal, means for multiplexing said quadrature two-phase balance-modulated color signal and said demodulation-purpose reference phase signal together with a carrier luminance signal, and means (14) for recording said multiplex signal.

The system minimizes deviation of hues from the original as well as that of color saturation from the original and eliminates drop-out or missing of color information, thereby ensuring a high quality of reproduced pictures.
