Clamping DC Biased Composite Video Signal Back to ground
(1/4) > >>

Hi, as the title suggests I want to clamp the DC Biased Composite Video Signal back to its original position.

I have tried to clamp the signal by extracting sync information and drive a switch which connected to ground according to sync info.

The DC bias which I added is approximately 5V. After trying clamp the signal back to ground DC bias drops to 2V. I want the signal at its original position which is 0V.

Are there any suggestions? Thank you.

I have a circuit that will clamp the sync tip to 1V, you want to clamp to 0V?
Can you show us your circuitry?

The circuit I used is shown below. I want to clamp to 0V.

The CSOUT pulses are positive going. They should not be inverted to drive the 4066.
DC restored video signal doesn't tolerate much loading.

EDIT: I was wrong about the CSOUT polarity.
dzseki:
You can use a DC coupled opamp (Au=1 or 2 depending on what output termination you want ), but with DC bias applied to the inverting pin, therefore subtracting that bias from the input signal.
