Abstract
In a television system a transition level signal booster decreases transition time of low level transitions within a video signal without creating artifacts incident to high level transitions within the video signal. The booster includes an input for receiving the video signal, an output for putting out a main path video signal in which transition times of low level transitions have been decreased, a main path for the video signal extending between the input and the output, the main path including a main path adder means for adding a transition boost signal to the video signal, a transition boost signal generator including a connection to said input for receiving the video and for generating the transition boost signal, the generator comprising: a high frequency transition signal generator for generatigng a high frequency transition signal incident to the detection of a transition level in the video signal, a wave shaper including a first path having a delay match in series therein for putting out a first signal and a second path in parallel with the first path, the second path including sign removal and shaper means therein for generating a second control signal having a decreasin…
