synchronizing pulse ph and the vertical synchronizing pulse pv from the sync separator circuits 14 and 18 thus the luminance signal sy is added with the horizontal synchronizing pulse ph and the vertical synchronizing pulse pv and then fed to an adder circuit 25 the modified color video signal sm from the read circuit 9 is fed also to a band pass filter 27 from which the chrominance signal s c is derived this chrominance signal s c is fed to a frequency converter 28 which is also supplied with the output signal from the converter 13 thus the chrominance signal s c from the band pass filter 27 is frequency converted by the converter 28 from the carrier frequency f c to the original value that is the chrominance signal s c with the original frequency is obtained from the converter 28 the chrominance signal s c with the original frequency is supplied to the adder circuit 25 from which a still color video signal sa is obtained which consists of the chrominance signal s c and the luminance signal sy the still color television sa from the adder circuit 25 is fed to a contact s of the switch circuit 40 during the reproduction of a still color television signal the monitor receiver 50 is supplied with the signal fed to the contact s of the switch circuit 40 or the still color video signal sa.
