Abstract:
A video device for processing a video signal, comprising:a video input circuit which receives a video input signal and outputs odd-numbered field signals and even-numbered field signals of an interlace signal; a video processing unit which carries out data processing of said odd-numbered field signals and said even-numbered field signals of said interlace signal; a transfer control circuit which transfers said odd-numbered field signals and said even-numbered field signals of said interlace signal to a bus; and a data transfer register which stores data transfer control data, wherein said video processing unit performs color format conversion in a manner such that if an amount of said image data is decreased by said color format conversion, said video processing unit outputs odd-numbered field signals and even-numbered field signals of said image data within said interlace signal with color format conversion, and if an amount of said image data is increased by said color format conversion, said video processing unit outputs odd-numbered field signals and even-numbered field signals of said image data within said interlace signal without color format conversion, wherein said video processing unit performs scale conversion in a manner such that if an amount of said image data is decreased by said scale conversion, said video processing unit outputs said odd-numbered field signals and said even-numbered field signals of said image data within said interlace signal with scale conversion, and if an amount of said image data is increased by said scale conversion, said video processing unit outputs said odd-numbered field signals and said even-numbered field signals of said image data within said interlace signal without scale conversion, and wherein said transfer control circuit transfers each of odd-numbered field signals and even-numbered field signals to said bus in accordance with an address defined in said data transfer control data stored in said data transfer register.
