Simple Tocom 5504a compatable descramlber

by G-Man of Group 42

Introduction

The Tocom 5504a uses a very simple method of scrambling the video of the picture, it simply inverts the picture levels. Hardly scrambling at all, but is effective since most people don't want to watch an inverted signal. This circuit can also be used on the output of so called universal descramblers to correct an inverted output.

The simple descrambler simply uses an LF357 opamp to invert a baseband signal back to normal. The base band signal is supplied by a VCR or other tuner and modulated back to channel 3 or 4 using an inexpensive computer modulator.
