A chrominance signal trapping circuit is provided in a video signal monitoring line of a color video signal recording apparatus. An operation of the trapping circuit is ganged with an operation of a color killer circuit of the recording apparatus. The trapping circuit prevents a chrominance component of an input video signal from being supplied to a monitor connected to the recording apparatus when the recording apparatus is operating in a monochrome mode, whereby an operating mode of the monitor is made to a monochrome mode forcedly and an operating mode of the monitor can be coincident with an operating mode of the recording apparatus automatically.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim as our invention: 1.
A video recording apparatus comprising: a video signal recording system which is operable in both a color mode and in a monochrome mode, a video signal reproducing system, said video signal recording system having a video signal input terminal and a detecting circuit for detecting a chrominance level of an input signal applied to said input terminal, a color killer circuit controlled by an output of said detecting circuit for switching the operating mode of said video signal recording system between the color mode and the monochrome mode, a video signal monitoring line for coupling a video signal from said video signal input terminal to a video signal output terminal to a monitor from said output terminal, and a chrominance signal trap circuit, controlled by an output of said detecting circuit, provided in said video signal monitoring line for rejecting a chrominance component of said input video signal when said video recording system is working in the monochrome mode.
2.
A video recording apparatus in accordance with claim 1 wherein said chrominance signal trap circuit is in series with said video signal monitoring line and wherein a shorting switch is coupled in parallel with said trap circuit, said shorting switch is coupled in parallel with said trap circuit, said shorting switch being controlled by an output of said detecting circuit and having a high impedance to said chrominance component being rejected.
3.
A video recording apparatus in accordance with claim 2 wherein an output from said detecting circuit causes said shorting switch to be opened for monochrome reception and closed for color reception.

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1.
Field of the Invention This invention relates generally to a video recording apparatus and more particularly to a color video recording apparatus having a color killer circuit.
2.
Description of the Prior Art In general, with a prior art recording apparatus which records a color video signal, when a video signal is recorded thereby, a color video signal supplied to a recording signal input terminal is applied, as it is, to a color monitor to monitor the color video image which is recorded
