Abstract

See full text

In a composite video system having a digitized composite video signal to be modified, wherein the digitized video signal has discrete values having sampling frequency Nf.sub.s where N is an integer greater than one, and f.sub.s is the color subcarrier frequency of the video input signal, a method and apparatus for utilizing look-up tables to create special color effects without decoding to luminance and chrominance, the method having the steps of storing in memory N sets of predetermined values such that the sets are addressable in a desired predetermined order and such that the predetermined values relate to a discrete equal distant points on a color subcarrier frequency wave corresponding to a desired color, retrieving from memory the stored values at a rate Nf.sub.s such that the N sets are addressed in the predetermined order, and using the digitized composite video signal to address said memory, to produce a digitized video output signal with different values, as desired.
