          Appeal No. 96-4011                                                          
          Application No. 07/996,525                                                  


               means for adding said auxiliary modulation result to said              
          chrominance signal.                                                         
               8. A video signal processing system for recording a wideband           
          video signal on a limited bandwith medium, comprising:                      
               an input terminal for receiving a composite video signal;              
               signal processing means for separating said composite video            
          signal into a first frequency band including a chrominance signal           
          and a first luminance signal component, a second frequency band             
          including a second luminance signal component, and a third                  
          frequency band including a third luminance signal component, said           
          first and second and third frequency bands being contiguous                 
          frequency bands overlapping only at the edges of said first and             
          second frequency bands and at the edges of said second and third            
          frequency bands, said first frequency band containing higher                
          frequencies than said second frequency band, and said third                 
          frequency band containing lower frequencies than said second                
          frequency band;                                                             
               means for generating an augmented chrominance signal by                
          folding said second luminance signal component into said first              
          frequency band so as to interleave with said first luminance                
          signal component; and                                                       
               means for recording said third luminance signal component              
          and said augmented chrominance signal.
