Abstract
A wide-screen TV signal transmission apparatus includes transmitting a wide-screen TV signal generator for generating a wide-screen TV signal source; a scanning line converter for down-converting a wide-screen TV signal with an integer conversion ratio to obtain a conventional TV-compatible signal with upper and lower black bars; a vertical augmentation signal generator for generating a vertical augmentation signal to enhance the vertical resolution at the receiving side of the transmission apparatus; and adder for adding; a conventional TV-compatible signal and a vertical augmentation signal to obtain a conventional TV-compatible composed signal; and a transmitter for transmitting a conventional TV-compatible composed signal. The wide-screen TV signal transmission apparatus includes, in its receiving side a video signal detector for detecting a video signal from a transmitted modulated conventional TV-compatible composed signal to obtain a base-band video signal; a signal separater for separating the base-band video signal into luminance and chrominance signals with upper and lower black bars; a scan-convertor for up-converting the luminance and chrominance signals with upper and …
