Abstract

A video signal processor as for generating a picture-in-picture signal, generates respective analog luminance components and first and second analog chrominance components. In order to reduce the system hardware and processing speed, multiplexing circuitry subsamples the luminance and chrominance components on a field basis to provide alternating fields of only luminance and only chrominance signal. The multiplexing circuitry further subsamples the chrominance components by providing groups of horizontal lines of only the first chrominance component alternating with groups of horizontal lines of only the second chrominance component.
