Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus, comprising: a moving-picture-data obtaining unit for obtaining moving picture data generated by an input image device, said moving picture data comprising a plurality of blocks; a connection unit connectable to a first image output device which is configured to reproduce images from said moving picture data; an image-processing-control-information obtaining unit for obtaining image processing control information associated with each block of the moving picture data, the image processing control information defining image processing conditions and being determined by both an adjusting-information obtaining unit for obtaining adjusting information for adjusting the image processing control information in accordance with the image output characteristics of the first image output device; an adjusting unit for adjusting the obtained image processing control information by using the obtained adjusting information; an image processor for performing image processing on each block of the moving picture data by using the adjusted image processing control information; and an output unit for outputting, through the connection unit, the moving picture data that has been subjected to the image processing to the first image output device; wherein the image processing control information includes more than one selected from the group consisting of noise suppression, sharpness, brightness, R, G, B color balance, contrast, and memory colors; wherein said blocks comprise: a first block consisting of the moving-picture-data of a plurality of frame images, and a second block consisting of the image-processing-control-information associated with said moving-picture-data of said frame images, wherein said second block precedes the first block.
