Title: Composite television image
Inventor: BACKUS ALAN M
IPC: H04N5/445
Filed: 1989-11-13
Abstract: A secondary image is superimposed (e.g. subliminally) on a primary television image by selectively switching, attenuating or boosting the primary signal while still at the RF modulated stage in response to the intensity of the secondary image. Since operation is at RF, it may be carried out between a domestic receiver to its aerial or cable signal feed, avoiding modification of the set itself. The two images need not be in predetermined register with each other. A subliminal audio message may be produced synchronously with a subliminal secondary image, for mixing with sound produced by the loudspeaker of the receiver (i.e. in the air). <IMAGE>
