ABSTRACT:
A luminance and chrominance signal separating apparatus includes an A/D converter for A/D converting an input composite color television signal by a frequency of eight times of a color subcarrier frequency; a decimation filter for converting the A/D converted digital video signal into a signal with a frequency of four times of the color subcarrier frequency; a chrominance signal separating circuit for extracting a chrominance signal from the signal which was thinned-out by the frequency of four times of the color subcarrier frequency; an interpolating filter for converting the separated chrominance signal into a signal with a frequency of eight times the color subcarrier frequency and outputting a chrominance signal; a delay device for delaying the A/D converted digital video signal by a delay time which occurs when the A/D converted digital video signal passes through the decimation filter, the chrominance signal separator and the interpolating filter; and a subtracting circuit for subtracting the chrominance signal at the output of the interpolating filter from the digital video signal at the output of the delay device and outputting a luminance signal.
