Abstract

A synchronous signal separation circuit is disclosed which separates and fetches a synchronous signal from a video signal to which the synchronous signal has been added. The synchronous signal separation circuit includes an amplifier for amplifying a voltage of the video signal to output an amplified signal having an amplified voltage which is within a predetermined dynamic range. A voltage generator outputs a variable offset voltage to the amplifier for shifting a reference level of the amplified voltage to a predetermined level. A synchronous signal fetch means which, by comparing the amplified video signal with a threshold voltage in which the variable offset voltage has been adjusted based on the degree of amplification of the amplifier, fetches only the synchronous signal from the video signal.
