ABSTRACT:
A picture in picture (PIP) video signal is applied to a display device via a non-linear processor that is enabled during display of a main picture component and disabled during display of an inset picture component responsive to a PIP identification signal. The non-linear processor is formed in an integrated circuit which includes a pin for connection to a capacitor that stores peak levels of the PIP video signal. The PIP identification signal is subjected to a voltage level translation for varying the pin voltage over a range of values, .DELTA.V, for facilitating ON/OFF operation of the non-linear processor and is applied to a selected plate of the capacitor for varying the pin voltage without substantial alternation of charge stored within the capacitor whereby only a single pin is required for both capacitor storage and on/off control of the non-linear processor and undesirable visual artifacts, such as "trailing contrast bars", are avoided.
