Abstract

1,183,107. Copying telegraphy. A. BELTRAMI. 7 Aug., 1967 [6 Aug., 1966], No. 36136/67. Heading H4F. A method for transmitting a two tone image, e.g. Fig. 2a comprising tone transition points Fig. 2i separating monotonic areas over the normal telephone network, comprises scanning said image with a television type raster to produce video signals, Fig. 2b, generating a pulse, Fig. 2p, marking the end of each line scan, transmitting, Fig. 2m a single detached sinusoidal oscillation, for each of said tone transition points and for each of said generated pulses, the latter oscillations being distinguishable from the former (e.g. in antiphase) and video signals corresponding to said monotonic areas not being transmitted, wherein the exact reproduction of the image at the receiver is made possible by the scanning and reproduction of the image being carried out by means of cathoderay tubes having identical rasters with a two speed line scan, Fig. 2h, comprising low and high speed portions and with frame scans obtained by integration of the end line pulses, the low speed of the line scan being used to scan the tone transition points, and the high speed being used to scan said monotonic areas. By transmitting the tone transition points only and using a high speed scan in between said points, the time needed to scan and reproduce an image is reduced to near that required to scan its transition points only. In the two way system of Fig. 7 each subscriber is provided with a telephone, a flying spot scanner and photoelectric pick-up assembly 11 and a cathode-ray tube reproducer L1. Each telephone is provided, in conjunction with a switch H, with means whereby an image is transmitted to the other subscriber (position T) or is received therefrom (position R) or only normal sound signals are conveyed (position S). The video signal, Fig. 2b, of the photo-electric pick-up is passed to a circuit C1 wherein the pulsed oscillations of Fig. 2m are produced. Signals 2d and 2e derived from differentiating the limited video signal, are fed from circuit C1 to line scan generator B1 to produce the two speed line scan 2h. A frame scan generator A produces an increase in a step voltage output when a a new end line pulse is counted. Outputs from generators A1 and B1 control both the flying spot scanner and the reproducer tube. Received pulsed oscillations, Fig. 3a, are fed to circuit E1 wherein an intensity modulation signal, Fig. 3h, is produced as well as a line scan signal, Fig. 3g, enabling the reproduction of the image Fig. 3i. Fig. 10 (not shown) shows in detail an arrangement whereby normal telephone conversation takes precedence over image transmission, shuts off the video transmission and lets the speech through. To enable speed to be detected during brief pauses in words &c., a side tone is added to the speech. If the pulses of oscillation are at supersonic frequencies, then simultaneous speech and video may take place.
