Reproducing device for video signal

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the present invention is to provide a recording and reproducing for a video signal which can satisfactorily cope with both the random noise and the impulse noise even when the emphasis quantity is set to a large value.
The above object is accomplished by the provision of a recording and reproducing for a video signal comprising a recording circuit for changing an input video signal to generate a recording video signal, and a reproducing circuit for changing a reproduced video signal to generate an output video signal, the reproducing circuit comprising: a first high-pass filter having a time constant Ts; a first limiter for limiting the amplitude of an output signal of the first high-pass filter; a first coefficient multiplier circuit for multiplying an output signal of the first limiter by a first coefficient K; a first computation circuit for summing an output signal of the first coefficient multiplier circuit and the output video signal to deliver a signal indicative of the summed result to the first high-pass filter; a second coefficient multiplier circuit for multiplying the output signal of the first limiter by a second coefficient X; and a second computation circuit for subtracting the output signal of the second coefficient multiplier circuit from the reproduced video signal to output the output video signal, wherein when a time constant corresponding to a frequency at which the noise reduction effect becomes effective is assumed as T, the above-mentioned time constant Ts is set within a range expressed below: T>Ts>T/(X+1).
