Method and apparatus for modulating video signals

1. A method comprising:

modulating a luminance component of a video signal, wherein the luminance component of the video signal is modulated in a first frequency band;

modulating a first chrominance component of the video signal, wherein the first chrominance component of the video signal is modulated in a second frequency band;

modulating a second chrominance component of the video signal, wherein the second chrominance component of the video signal is modulated in a third frequency band;

transmitting the modulated luminance component of the video signal, the first modulated chrominance component of the video signal, and the second modulated chrominance component of the video signal across a communication link; and

combining an audio signal with the first modulated chrominance component of the video signal.

2. A method as recited in claim 1 wherein the video signal is a component video signal.

3. A method as recited in claim 1 wherein the communication link is a single transmission line.

4. A method as recited in claim 1 wherein the communication link is a wireless communication link.

5. A method as recited in claim 1 further comprising determining a transmission delay to a demodulator.

6. One or more computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed, direct a computing system to perform the method of claim 1 .

7. A method comprising:

receiving a signal containing a modulated luminance component, a first modulated chrominance component, and a second modulated chrominance component;

demodulating the modulated luminance component;

demodulating the first modulated chrominance component;

demodulating the second modulated chrominance component;

generating a video signal containing the luminance component, the first chrominance component, and the second chrominance component; and

separating an audio signal from the first modulated chrominance component.

8. A method as recited in claim 7 wherein the video signal is a component video signal.

9. A method as recited in claim 7 further comprising communicating the video signal to a display device.

10. One or more computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed, direct a computing system to perform the method of claim 7 .

11. An apparatus comprising:

a first oscillator configured to modulate a luminance component of a video signal in a first frequency band;

a second oscillator configured to modulate a chrominance component of a video signal in a second frequency band;

a transmitter coupled to the first oscillator and the second oscillator, the transmitter configured to transmit the modulated luminance component and the modulated chrominance component across a communication link; and

a tone generator coupled to the transmitter, wherein the tone generator is configured to generate a tone that is transmitted to a demodulator to determine the delay transmitting signals to the demodulator.

12. An apparatus as recited in claim 11 further comprising a channel selector coupled to the transmitter and configured to select the first frequency band and the second frequency band.

13. An apparatus as recited in claim 11 further comprising a delay generator coupled to the transmitter and configured to delay transmission of one of the components of the video signal.
