Circuit arrangement for processing a video signal, including means for avoiding a vertical color shift at horizontal color transitions

A video recorder, includes: a filter for performing a comb-filtering operation and supplying a comb-filtered component of a video signal; controllable influencing apparatus for terminating the output of the comb-filtered component and activating instead, the propagation of the non-filtered component; transition detection apparatus for detecting a vertically extending transition and supplying characteristic information upon detection of such a transition; control information generating apparatus, arranged between the transtion detection apparatus and the influencing apparatus, for generating control information enabling the termination of the output of the comb-filtered component and the activation of the propagation of the non-filtered component for a period of time which is longer than possible by means of the characteristic information.
