ABSTRACT:
A method for increasing the definition of an NTSC video signal using an augmentation channel involves the generation of both a line summation signal as well as a line difference signal. From the line summation signal, a horizontal detail signal may be derived which may be diagonally filtered and added to a diagonally filtered vertical detail signal and transmitted in a bandwidth of approximately 2.5 mega-hertz. Furthermore, the line summation signal may be applied for the derivation of a standard NTSC video signal which is transmitted separately from the augmentation channel. Decoder apparatus comprises a single digital diagonal filter having complimentary output functions resulting in both improved horizontal and vertical resolution at low cost.
