Abstract
A TV video signal synchronization signal system enables a video device such as a digital special effects system to operate synchronously in response to an input video signal and still produce an output video signal synchronized to a television studio locking reference signal. The video device and the synchronization signal generating subsystem thereof operate in response to a pixel rate clock of approximately 70 ns and in response to a phase command to generate timing for the horizontal sync pulse, color burst signal and video data of the output video signal. The output color burst signal remains phase locked to the locking reference signal with output gating being responsive to the phase command. A ROM interpolator provides subpixel accuracy for the output horizontal sync pulse while output line buffering and interpolation permits the output video data to the phase matched to the reference master sync signal. The entire video system thus operates synchronously with the input video signal to avoid noise interference problems which result from multiple phase clock signals while generating a composite output video signal that is properly phase synchronized with a studio locking refer…
