ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Timing errors in a color television signal equal to a fraction of the nominal period of one cycle of color burst are corrected by clocking an analog-to-digital converter during each horizontal line interval of the television signal with two clock signals having the same nominal frequency equal to a multiple of that of the color burst. During the color burst interval of each horizontal line, the analog-to-digital converter is clocked by a stable time base reference clock signal and the obtained digitized color burst is stored in a recyclable digital memory. Following the color burst interval, the stored digitized color burst is regenerated for the remainder of the horizontal line and a clock signal derived for use in clocking the analog-to-digital converter. The digitized television signal provided by the analog-to-digital converter is written into a clock isolator at times determined by the clock signal derived from the digitized color burst and, thereafter, read from the clock isolator at times determined by the reference clock signal. Timing errors exceeding the nominal period of one color burst cycle are corrected by writing the digitized television signal from the clock isolator into a following random access memory and incrementally adjusting the memory's read time in accordance with such errors measured in steps equal to the period of one color burst cycle. The stable time base reference clock signal is coupled to control the signal processing following passage through the clock isolator.
