Abstract

The subject matter discloses a color rolling reduction apparatus, comprising: an antenna ( 99 ) for receiving signals; a detector ( 330 ) linked to the antenna, for detecting low signals from the signals received by the antenna, the low signals are associated with a power supply connected to a light source; and an amplifier for amplifying the low signals; wherein the low signals that are amplified are for synchronizing of a functionality of a camera.

Claims (26)

1. A color rolling reduction apparatus for a video device, comprising: an antenna for receiving signals;

a detector linked to the antenna, for detecting low signals from the signals received by the antenna, the low signals are associated with a power supply connected to a light source; and

an amplifier for amplifying the low signals;

wherein the low signals that are amplified are for synchronizing of a functionality of a camera, the synchronizing being performed by adjusting a number of pixels in a frame.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light source is a fluorescent light.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a trigger for triggering the camera when the low signals are above a threshold.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a synchronizer for the synchronizing of the functionality of the camera.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a sharpening component for sharpening and for amplifying the low signal.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising trigger reconstruction circuit in communication with the camera for triggering the camera, the trigger reconstruction circuit comprising several steps of filtering and amplification to filter and amplify the low signals.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the output of the trigger reconstruction circuit is a binary signal.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a camera board and a power board, the antenna comprising a wire connected between the camera board and the power board.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the power supply provides an AC power signal to the light source.

10. A color rolling reduction method, comprising:

receiving signals through an antenna;

detecting low signals from the received signals, the low signals are associated with a power supply connected to a light source; and

amplifying the low signals; wherein the low signals that are amplified are for synchronizing of a functionality of a camera, wherein synchronizing comprises changing an internal clock frequency and changing the number of pixels in a frame.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising the synchronizing of the functionality of the camera.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the functionality of the camera comprises a cycle time of the camera.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the functionality of the camera comprises an exposure start time.

14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising line lock triggering between the antenna and the camera.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising synchronizing the camera to a light source based on the line lock triggering.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the line lock triggering occurs based on the low signals exceeding a threshold level.

17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the pixels comprise fractions of pixels that may be added or removed to change the number of pixels in the frame.

18. A color rolling reduction apparatus, comprising:

a synchronization circuit having an antenna, a trigger reconstruction circuit and a bias circuit, the antenna being configured to receiving signals from a power supply, the power supply providing an AC power signal to a light source, the trigger reconstruction circuit being linked to the antenna for amplifying and filtering low signals from the signals received by the antenna, the low signals being associated with the power supply; and

a camera in communication with the synchronization circuit, wherein a functionality of the camera is synchronized based on adjusting a number of pixels in a frame.
