DC restoration
Uses signal bias to set their operating point
It is necessary because composite video signal
is often coupled from the video amplifier to the
input to the sync separator through coupling
capacitor.
Two important function of Bias
Restores the video component of the video signal
Form automatic bias that adjust itself as the signal
strength changes so that only the sync pulse tips
are responsible for the sync separator conduction

Waveform separation
The differentiator – RC circuit ca be made into
high pass filter that is used to block the vertical
sync pulses and pass and shape the horizontal
sync pulses into trigger voltages for the
horizontal oscillator. It is designed for short
time constant period
The integrator- low pass filter used to block the
horizontal pulses pass and shape the vertical
sync pulses for the use of vertical deflection
oscillator trigger voltage

Vertical Countdown
circuits Function
Perfect interlace scanning this means that vertical
resolution picture is improve because there can’t be
any pairing of horizontal scanning lines
The vertical countdown circuit does not require vertical
hold control
Changes in the vertical height and vertical linearity
control settings can’t have any effect on the vertical
sawtooth frequency. In the receivers not using the
vertical countdown circuits. Changing this controls will
cause picture to roll
This control is one of the master oscillator to generate
boot the horizontal and vertical sawteeth.

Master oscillator
functions
Video Amplification
AGC processing
Provides voltages to IF, Tuner VHF-UHF
Sync separation
Generate vertical and horizontal pulse
Noise centering amplifier
Eliminate noise pulses
Horizontal AFC
Correcting any frequency error (503.5 khz master scan
oscillator)

Vertical Countdown Chips
Provide blanking pulse
Amplified by the buffer stage
Provides horizontal drives
Dividing the 503.5 Khz master oscillator
Provides the drive for the vertical
deflection amplifier
Logic circuits divide it’s input signal 525
producing 59.94 Hz
