ABSTRACT:
A video signal copying apparatus for copying a signal recorded on a recording medium onto other recording media is provided. The video signal copying apparatus includes a first filter for blocking a color signal and passing a luminance signal of a video signal detected from a video signal recording medium, a second filter for passing only the color signal of the video signal, a burst detection signal generator for generating a burst detection signal for detecting a burst signal, a color signal determiner for generating a color killer signal when a color signal does not exist in the video signal, a peak level detector for detecting the peak level of the input signal over all frequency bands when the color killer signal is generated, or over only a burst detection signal section when the color killer signal is not generated, by receiving the filtered color signal, a voltage-controlled amplifier for automatically controlling the gain of the color signal in correspondence to the detected peak level, and a mixer for mixing the filtered luminance signal and the gain-controlled color signal to output a video signal to be recorded via a recording amplifier. Therefore, loss of a luminance signal which is part of a low-frequency component can be prevented when copying a black and white signal, thereby improving picture quality.
