Patent ID: 7047556

Claim:
A method for equalizing video transmitted over twisted pair cable comprising: receiving an input video signal having a plurality of components; generating a first plurality of compensated components by applying at least one compensation to each of said plurality of components of said video signal; transmitting each of said first plurality of compensated components over a twisted pair cable to a receiving station, said first plurality of compensated components being transmitted over a plurality of twisted pair cables; generating a second plurality of compensated components from said first plurality of compensated components by applying inverse compensation to compensate for accumulated losses in each of said first plurality of compensated components due to transmission over said twisted pair cable; generating a third plurality of compensated components by applying, to each of said second plurality of compensated components, a desired phase skew using a non-minimum phase zero filter such that all of said third plurality of compensated components are in phase, said non-minimum phase zero filter having a pole and zero that are equivalent, said pole and zero being adjustable to achieve said desired phase skew; and outputting said third plurality of compensated components on an output device.
