Electronic slide projector providing chroma and luma inversion of a composite video signal

Claim 2

Color slide projection apparatus comprising: means for receiving a composite video output signal from video tube apparatus arranged for receiving by direct illumination thereon, light passing through a color transparency slide which may be either positive or negative; means for enabling selectable direct projection of a color negative transparency slide including blue tinted filter means selectably locatable along the light path from the slide to the input of said video tube apparatus for removing the effect of an orange substrate of color negative transparencies; and selectably energizable means for inverting the chroma and the luma portions of the composite video signal output of the video tube apparatus and means for transmitting the composite video signal output of the selectably energizable means to a video display.

Claim 3

Slide projection apparatus according to claim 1 and also comprising means for illuminating the slide at different levels of illumination for positive and negative transparencies.

Claim 4

Slide projection apparatus according to claim 1 and wherein said video tube is located in the lens housing of a conventional non-video tube slide projector.

Claim 5

Slide projection apparatus according to claim 2 and wherein said video tube is located in the lens housing of a conventional non-video tube slide projector.

Claim 6

Slide projection apparatus according to claim 1 and also comprising means for rotation of the projected image by means of mechanical rotation of the video tube relative to the transparency.

Claim 7

Slide projection apparatus according to claim 2 and also comprising means for rotation of the projected image by means of mechanical rotation of the video tube relative to the transparency.

Claim 8

Slide projection apparatus according to claim 2 and also comprising means for rotation of the projected image by means of mechanical rotation of the video tube relative to the transparency.

Claim 9

Color slide projection apparatus comprising: video tube apparatus located in the lens housing of a conventional non-video slide projector and being arranged for receiving by direct illumination, light passing through a color transparency slide which may be positive or negative; means for enabling selectable direct projection of color negatives including blue tinted filter means selectably locatable along the light path from the slide to the input of said video tube apparatus for removing the effect of orange substrate or color negative transparencies; and selectably energizable means for inverting the chroma and the luma portions of the composite video signal output of the video tube apparatus; means for illuminating the color slide transparency at different levels of illumination for positive and negative transparencies; means for selectable rotation of the said video tube relative to said transparency to provide desired rotation of a projected image thereof; and means for transmitting the composite video signal output of the selectably energizable means to a video display.

Claim 10

Color slide projection apparatus comprising: video tube apparatus located in the lens housing of a conventional non-video slide projector and being arranged for receiving by direct illumination, light passing through a color transparency slide which may be positive or negative; means for enabling selectable direct projection of color negatives including blue tinted filter means selectably locatable along the light path from the slide to the input of said video tube apparatus for removing the effect of orange substrate or color negative transparencies; and selectably energizable means for inverting the chroma and the luma portions of the composite video signal output of the video tube apparatus; means for illuminating the color slide transparency at different levels of illumination for positive and negative transparencies; means for selectable rotation of the said video tube relative to said transparency to provide desired rotation of a projected image thereof; and means for transmitting the composite video signal output of the selectably energizable means to a video display.
