Abstract
A television communication system wherein a composite video signal, is scrambled to prevent a stabilized picture from being displayed by a typical broadcast televison set receiving the scrambled video signal and encoded to enable verification, and wherein a received encoded scrambled video signal is verified and decoded to enable a stabilized picture to be displayed by a typical broadcast television set receiving the decoded video signal. The encoder includes a first circuit for offsetting the DC level of the reference color burst information in a composite video signal to a point nearly midway between the reference black and white levels of the video information; and for removing horizontal synchronizing pulses from the composite video signal to provide a scrambled video signal; a code word generator for generating a code word; and an insert circuit for inserting the code word in the scrambled video signal in regularly spaced positions that normally would be occupied by every nth one of the horizontal synchronizing pulses to thereby encode the scrambled video signal, wherein n is an integer greater than one. The decoder includes a video detector for receiving the encoded scrambled video signal; a code module for storing a predetermined code word; a verification device for comparing the predetermined code word with code words in the received encoded scrambled video signal and for providing verification signals when the predetermined code word is detected in the encoded scrambled video signal; and a second circuit responsive to the verification signals for restoring horizontal synchronizing pulses in the received video signal, and for restoring the DC level of the reference color burst information in the received video signal to the back porch level of the restored synchronizing pulses, to thereby provide the decoded video signal.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
