A method and apparatus for creating a television signal and encrypting or decrypting the signal at the same time. Luminance and chrominance information are received by the apparatus and stored in separate television scan line stores. The stored liminance and chrominance information is read out from their respective stores at a frequency corresponding to a desired format or standard to create the television signal.
