Understanding Video Signal Processing: Luminance and Chroma
Video Signal Processing
The video detector provides the composite video signal, which includes sync information, luminance information, and chroma information. The video detector output is separated to recover the luminance signal and the chroma signal. Both signals are processed separately and perform the following basic functions:
- Luminance Signal: Adapts the signal to the level needed for the circuit matrix.
- Chroma Signal: Amplified and then undergoes PAL decoding and demodulation to recover the
