Claim:
1. A stereoscopic video apparatus comprising: an input device for receiving first input frames of a first view and second input frames of a second view different from the first view, a first one frame of the first input frames and a first one frame of the second input frames having been captured at a first point in time, a second one frame of the first input frames and a second one frame of the second input frames having been captured at a second point in time after the first point in time, a first period of time being between the first point in time and the second point in time, the first one frame of the second input frames and the second one frame of the second input frames containing a subject image; and an output device for outputting first output frames of the first view and second output frames of the second view, a first one frame of the first output frames of the first view being outputted at a third point in time, a second one frame of the first output frames of the first view being outputted at a fourth point in time after the third point in time, a second period of time between the third point in time and the fourth point in time being equal to the first period of time, wherein: the output device outputs the first one frame of the first input frames of the first view as the first one frame of the first output frames of the first view at the third point in time, and the second one frame of the first input frames of the first view as the second one frame of the first output frames of the first view at the fourth point in time, when a movement amount of the subject image between the first one frame of the second input frames of the second view and the second one frame of the second input frames of the second view is a first movement amount, the output device outputs one interpolation frame generated from the first one frame of the second input frames of the second view and the second one frame of the second input frames of the second view at a central point in time between the third point in time and the fourth point in time of the first output frames, as one frame of the second output frames of the second view, a first time lag between the first point in time and the central point in time being larger than a second time lag between the second point in time and the central point in time, and when the movement amount is a second movement amount which is smaller than the first movement amount, the output device outputs the first one frame of the second input frames of the second view, not the second one frame of the second input frames of the second view, at the central point in time with the first time lag, as one frame of the second output frames of the second view.
