1. A method of processing a video signal in component form, comprising:
- (a) generating two chroma component signals which have a selected bandwidth and are GAMMA corrected,(b) generating a linear luminance component signal which has a greater bandwidth than the chroma component signals and is not GAMMA corrected, and(c) GAMMA correcting the linear luminance component signal by combining the linear luminance component signal and the chroma component signals to provide a GAMMA-corrected luminance component signal having a greater bandwidth than the GAMMA-corrected chroma component signals.

Abstract
A video signal in component form is processed by generating two chroma component signals which have a selected bandwidth and are GAMMA corrected, generating a linear luminance component signal which has a greater bandwidth than the chroma component signals and is not GAMMA corrected, and GAMMA correcting the linear luminance component signal to provide a GAMMA-corrected luminance component signal having a greater bandwidth than the GAMMA-corrected chroma component signals.

13. A method of processing a video signal in component form, comprising:
-
(a) generating two chroma component signals which have a selected bandwidth and are GAMMA corrected, (b) generating a linear luminance component signal which has a greater bandwidth than the chroma component signals and is not GAMMA corrected, (c) low pass filtering for limiting the linear luminance signal, whereby the linear luminance signal is limited to a bandwidth greater than said selected bandwidth, and (d) GAMMA correcting the bandwidth-limited linear luminance component signal to provide a GAMMA-corrected luminance component signal having a greater bandwidth than the GAMMA-corrected chroma component signals. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
