1. A system for synchronization of a color projection television system with a video signal comprising:

  • a video source having a video output and a synchronization signal;

    video memory means coupled to said video output of said video source;

    light valve means connected to said video memory means;

    an illumination system for moving first, second and third color bands of light across said light valve means;

    a first control circuit having a control output to said video memory means to control the writing of the video to said video memory means in response to the synchronization signal of said video source;

    a second control circuit controlling the writing to said light valve means, said second control circuitry further including means for controlling the position of the color bands in relation to the light valve means and means for receiving an input based on the position of said color bands on said light valve; and

    means for connecting and disconnecting said first and second control circuits from each other so that said first and second control circuits can be operated synchronously when connected and asynchronously when disconnected.
