ABSTRACT:
The gain of the chroma signal in a digital television receiver is controlled in accordance with the value of a composite gain factor which is an accumulation of gain control factors provided by a user color control, automatic chroma control, and chroma overload. Gain control according to the composite gain factor is realized by a coarse gain block, which increments or decrements the chroma signal gain in increments of six dB, and a fine gain control over a range of six dB or less, in finely controlled increments. In a preferred embodiment, the digital chroma gain system is operated under control of a microprocessor, which receives signals representative of chroma overload, user control settings, and chroma burst amplitude. The microprocessor then calculates the composite chroma signal gain and apportions the gain between the coarse and fine gain control blocks. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the coarse gain block comprises controlled shift registers for controlling the chroma signal gain over a range of 18 dB in 6 dB increments. The fine gain block comprises an adder and a random access memory (RAM), addressed by the chroma signal, which contains a data table computed by the microprocessor.
