Integrated NTSC Chrominance/Luminance Processor

An intensive engineering effort in the past decade produced color TV receivers with a high degree of maturity. Although the price of receivers remained essentially unchanged, their performance and reliability were improved substantially. Among the many improvements in all sections of the receiver are not only those that relate to a better picture quality but also those responsible for reduced energy consumption, the simplified operation of controls, and reduced weight. In this paper attention will be focused on improvements in the chroma/ luma area.
