Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the frequency characteristic of a video signal attended with a negative feedback circuit from fluctuation by not using a switch for changeover the negative feedback quantity in said circuit, but by switching a post-stage preamplifier to prevent an excess input. CONSTITUTION:When weak light is received, the output of a preamplifier A1 enters a 2nd preamplifier A2, in which the signal is amplified, and the output of the preamplifier A2 enters an automatic gain control amplifier A3 via a contact (a), the terminal COM of a negative feedback changeover switch SW2. When strong light is received, the negative feedback changeover switch SW2 is switched and the output of the preamplifier A1 enters the amplifier A3 directly via a contact (b) and the terminal COM of the negative feedback changeover switch SW2 without amplification, thereby evading an excess input. In such a case, a contact of a negative feedback changeover switch SW3 interlocking with the switch SW2 is opened to interrupt the power supply for the preamplifier A2. Thus, the fluctuation of the frequency characteristic of the video signal attended with the changeover of the negative feedback circuit.

(Effects of the Invention) As shown in the embodiments, according to the present invention, the amount of negative feedback in the negative feedback circuit is not changed by changing the switch, but the preamplifier in the subsequent stage is changed to prevent excessive input.
It is possible to eliminate fluctuations in the frequency characteristics of the video signal due to switching of the negative feedback circuit. In addition, the negative feedback circuit has high impedance and is easily affected by the stray amount of the changeover switch.In particular, if the changeover switch is installed far away due to the small circuit current, the influence of the current induced along the way cannot be ignored. It was impossible. However, according to the present invention, the switch for switching the preamplifier has a large circuit current, has a relatively low impedance, and can be installed far away without being affected greatly.
