Abstract

A timebase corrector is provided, in which an input video signal is written in a timebase error correcting memory on the basis of a clock pulse synchronized with a synchronizing signal in the input video signal and the signal written in the time base error correcting memory is read out on the basis of a read clock pulse synchronized with a reference signal to thereby correct a timebase error. In this timebase corrector, when a drop-out of a first vertical synchronizing signal in the input video signal occurs, the write of the input video signal in the timebase error correcting memory is inhibited, and a timebase error is corrected by the input video signal already written in the memory until a second vertical synchronizing signal is detected.
