Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve picture quality by gating a master/slave switching signal when a slave picture signal is silent and displaying no slave picture. CONSTITUTION:In a slave picture forming circuit, a component signal 18 for a slave demodulated by a video chroma processing circuit 5 is written synchronously with a slave signal 11 and compressed. A slave picture signal 19 is read synchronously with a master picture signal 10 and inputted to an RGB switching circuit 8. A master/slave switching signal 20 is inputted to the gate circuit 7 of a slave switching control portion 23. In the circuit 7, a gate signal 15 is received. When the signal 11 is received, a gate is opened and the signal 20 is directly inputted to the circuit 8 as a switching signal 21, as it is. When the signal 11 is not present, the gate is closed so as not to input the gate signal 21 to the circuit 8. In the circuit 8, a master picture signal 12 and a slave picture signal 19 are switched by the gate signal 21 and inputted to a CRT 9. Accordingly, when the video signal 11 for the slave picture is not present, only the master picture is reproduced on the CRT 9.
