Apparatus For Generating An Image From A Digital Video Signal

US Patent:
RE38942, Jan 24, 2006
Filed:
Jan 24, 1991
Appl. No.:
07/645398
Inventors:
Jean M. Riseman - Cambridge MA, US
John J. Smith - Cambridge MA, US
Alice M. d'Entremont - Boston MA, US
Craig E. Goldman - Natick MA, US
Assignee:
Canon Inc. - Tokyo
International Classification:
H04N 1/40
US Classification:
358 312, 358280, 358283, 358298
Abstract:
An apparatus for generating a high quality image from a digital video signal includes a system for gamma correcting the digital video signal with a digital look up table and for converting the resultant digital signal to an analog video signal. Another circuit generates a triangular wave reference pattern signal and a comparator compares the analog video signal with the triangular wave reference pattern signal to form a pulse-width-modulated signal. A raster scanning print engine producing, for example, a laser beam, scans over a recording medium in accordance with the pulse-width-modulated signal, thereby forming an image of high quality on the recording medium of a print engine. This apparatus can also be used with an analog video signal by first converting the analog video signal to a digital video signal with an analog to digital converter.
