Consequently, since the composite signal having the level of the luminance signal gradually reduced relatively to the level of the synchronizing signal is outputted, a composite signal of a video image which has the level of luminance stepwise reduced is generated by the AGC function in a device connected to an output terminal 7. Thus faded-out video images are recorded or displayed.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
