TLDR
In this paper, a frame interpolation process is used to convert an input television signal having a first frame number per second into an output television signal with a second frame number in accordance with an interpolation coefficient.
Abstract
In a television signal frame number converter for converting an input television signal having a first frame number per second into an output television signal having a second frame number per second in accordance with an interpolation coefficient, a processing unit (11) processes two successive frames on the input television signal by a frame interpolation process to produce a processed signal. A memory unit (12) memorizes the processed signal in synchronism with a write-in address signal (141) given by a first frame synchronizing signal (13) of the input television signal and is read out by a read-out address signal (171) given by a second frame synchronizing signal (16) of a reference television signal having the second frame number per second. The converter determines (15) the interpolation coefficient in accordance with a time interval between a write-in start timing of the memory unit and a read-out start timing of the memory unit.
