Video signal processing method and apparatus therefor for creating a picture-in-picture

摘要

A video signal processing method for a picture-in-picture function comprises the steps of sampling a second composite color television signal corresponding to a subscreen by a signal (3 fsc) having a frequency three times the frequency of a chrominance subcarrier (fsc) signal to write the same in a field memory, reading the sampled signal written in the field memory at the frequency of 3 fsc in the ratio of one to N+1 data in the horizontal direction and at intervals of even horizontal lines in the vertical direction and switching the read compressed second composite color television signal and a first composite color television signal corresponding to a main screen in prescribed timing to display the same on a television screen. Color signals of the first and second composite color television signals may be previously made in phase with each other.
