Abstract

A cooperative adaptive low noise television system provides that, prior to transmission, the composite video is separated into chroma and luminance components. The luminance signal is adaptively pre-emphasized, with the amount of pre-emphasis being determined by the luminance transitions level, so that small transitions have more pre-emphasis than large ones. In the receiver, a received luminence signal is submitted to adaptive deemphasis in order to precisely cancel the adaptive pre-emphasis provided prior to transmission, thus reducing transmission noise while restituting a luminance signal free of pre-shoot, over-shoot or resolution losses.
