Method and apparatus for modulating video signals
View Patent ↗A luminance component of a video signal is modulated in a first frequency band. A first chrominance component of the video signal is modulated in a second frequency band and is mixed with an audio component. A second chrominance component of the video signal is modulated in a third frequency band. The modulated luminance component, the first modulated chrominance component, and the second modulated chrominance component are then transmitted across a communication link.
1. An apparatus comprising:
means for modulating a luminance component of a video signal in a first frequency band;
means for modulating a first chrominance component of the video signal in a second frequency band;
means for modulating a second chrominance component of the video signal in a third frequency band;
means for 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
means for combining an audio signal with the first modulated chrominance component of the video signal.
2. An apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein the video signal is a component video signal.
3. An apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein the communication link is a single transmission line.
4. An apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein the communication link is a wireless communication link.
5. An apparatus as recited in claim 1 further comprising means for determining a transmission delay to a demodulator.
6. One or more computer-readable media comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed, direct an apparatus to:
modulate a luminance component of a video signal in a first frequency band;
modulate a first chrominance component of the video signal in a second frequency band;
modulate a second chrominance component of the video signal in a third frequency band;
transmit 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
combine an audio signal with the first modulated chrominance component of the video signal.
7. One or more computer-readable media as recited in claim 6 wherein the video signal is a component video signal.
8. One or more computer-readable media as recited in claim 6 wherein the communication link is a single transmission line.
9. One or more computer-readable media as recited in claim 6 wherein the communication link is a wireless communication link.
10. One or more computer-readable media as recited in claim 6 further comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed, direct the apparatus to determine a transmission delay to a demodulator.
11. One or more computer-readable media comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed, direct an apparatus to:
receive a signal containing a modulated luminance component, a first modulated chrominance component, and a second modulated chrominance component;
demodulate the modulated luminance component;
demodulate the first modulated chrominance component;
demodulate the second modulated chrominance component; and
generate a video signal containing the luminance component, the first chrominance component, and the second chrominance component; and
separate an audio signal from the first modulated chrominance component.
12. One or more computer-readable media as recited in claim 11 wherein the video signal is a component video signal.
13. One or more computer-readable media as recited in claim 11 further comprising further comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed, direct the apparatus to communicate the video signal to a display device.
