Abstract From the Canadian patent

A frame synchronizing signal detecting circuit detects a frame synchronizing signal in a video signal. When the frame synchronizing signal is not detected by the frame synchronizing signal detecting circuit a clamp, level switching circuit is responsive to a switching signal from a timer circuit for generating alternately an upper clamp potential V+ and a lower, clamp potential V-. When the frame synchronizing signal is detected by the frame synchronizing signal detecting circuit the clamp, level switching circuit generates a normal clamp potential V0. A clamping pulse generating circuit is responsive to an output from the frame synchronizing signal detecting circuit for generating a …
