Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
245 words
In an arrangement for making a photographic recording of a television picture corresponding to a picture signal having raster line and picture periods, such arrangement comprising a television display device having a picture display screen and producing thereon a line raster in accordance with the picture signal, and a photographic camera directed towards the display screen for photographing the television picture thereon; the improvement consisting of a line structure correction circuit for reducing the visibility of the raster line structure of the television picture, such line structure correction circuit comprising: means for storing the picture information in successive raster line periods of the picture signal; signal processing circuit means for supplying to said television display device, in at least "n" consecutive raster line periods of the television picture displayed thereon, the stored picture signal information associated with each raster line of the picture signal; the raster line periods of the displayed television picture being the same as the raster line periods of the picture signal; and a vertical deflection circuit coupled to the television display device for producing the picture period of the television picture displayed thereon, such picture period being equal to "n"-times the picture period of said picture signal, the number "n" being an integer at least equal to two; whereby the picture information in each raster line of the picture signal is repeated in at least "n" successive raster lines of the picture on the display screen of the television display device.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

In an arrangement for making a photographic recording of a television picture corresponding to a picture signal having raster line and picture periods, such arrangement comprising a television display device having a picture display screen and producing thereon a line raster in accordance with the picture signal, and a photographic camera directed towards the display screen for photographing the television picture thereon; the improvement consisting of a line structure correction circuit for reducing the visibility of the raster line structure of the television picture, such line structure correction circuit comprising: means for storing the picture information in successive raster line periods of the picture signal; signal processing circuit means for supplying to said television display device, in at least "n" consecutive raster line periods of the television picture displayed thereon, the stored picture signal information associated with each raster line of the picture signal; the raster line periods of the displayed television picture being the same as the raster line periods of the picture signal; and a vertical deflection circuit coupled to the television display device for producing the picture period of the television picture displayed thereon, such picture period being equal to "n"-times the picture period of said picture signal, the number "n" being an integer at least equal to two; whereby the picture information in each raster line of the picture signal is repeated in at least "n" successive raster lines of the picture on the display screen of the television display device.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
102 words
A line structure correction circuit as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said signal processing circuit means supplies consecutively (2n-1)-times to said picture display device the picture information associated with each raster line of the television picture signal, the picture information of each line being repeated (n-1)-times simultaneously with the picture information associated with the immediately preceding and immediately succeeding raster lines, respectively, of the television picture signal; said signal processing circuit means comprising a combining circuit for adding together the simultaneously occurring information in such raster line periods multiplied by respective predetermined factors which change for successive raster line periods.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
A line structure correction circuit as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that said multiplying factors are varied over said (2n-1) raster lines in accordance with the sum of a first series ##EQU6## and the complementary series ##EQU7##
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
56 words
A line structure correction circuit as claimed in claim 2 or 3, characterized in that said signal processing circuit means comprises a delay device coupled to said picture information storing means for delaying the stored picture information for each raster line of the television picture by a time delay equal to (n-1) raster line periods thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
48 words
A line structure correction circuit as claimed in claim 1, wherein said vertical deflection circuit comprises a switching circuit and an integrating capacitance, such switching circuit controlling such capacitance so that the vertical deflection period of said picture display device can be changed by the factor of "n".
