Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus for converting, by 2:3 pull-down processing, a 24p imaging signal generated with a frame frequency of 24 Hz according to a progressive scanning system into a 60 i signal with a field frequency of 60 Hz according to an interlace scanning system, which is a standard television system, the imaging apparatus comprising: an imaging section for outputting a 24p imaging signal of one frame over a ( 1/30) second every ( 1/24) second in synchronization with a vertical synchronizing signal of the 24p imaging signal; a delay section for outputting a 24p imaging signal of one frame as it is when the 24p imaging signal is outputted from the imaging section at the same timing as a phase of a vertical synchronizing signal of the a memory section for writing, over a ( 1/30) second, the 24p imaging signal of one frame having been outputted from the delay section, and outputting a so-called 2:3 pull-down signal, in which two frames of the 24p imaging signal are converted into the a recording section for recording the 2:3 pull-down signal from the memory section in a recording medium; and a display section for displaying the 2:3 pull-down signal from the memory section.
