Abstract:
1. A reproducing apparatus which simultaneously reproduces a first video signal and a second video signal reproduced at any timing relative to the first video signal, comprising: a first converting section to output the first video signal having a first frame frequency alternately for three successive frames and two successive frames and to convert the first video signal having the first frame frequency into a converted first video signal having a second frame frequency, the first frame frequency and the second frame frequency having a relationship of 2 to 5; a second converting section to output the second video signal having the first frame frequency alternately for three successive frames and two successive frames and to convert the second video signal having the first frame frequency into a converted second video signal having the second frame frequency, the first frame frequency and the second frame frequency having a relationship of 2 to 5; a synchronization unit to generate a synchronization signal to synchronize the converted first video signal with the converted second video signal, and to provide the synchronization signal to the first converting section and the second converting section, the synchronization signal being provided to the second converting section via the first converting section and an adder device; and a controlling section to cause the synchronization unit to delay the synchronization signal provided to the to the second converting section via the adder with respect to the first converting section such that timing at which a field group based on fields of the three successive frames of the converted first video signal is changed to a field group based on fields of the two successive frames thereof matches timing at which a field group based on fields of the three successive frames of the converted second video signal is changed to a field group based on fields of the two successive frames thereof.
