Abstract:
1. A moving image frame rate converting apparatus for performing frame rate conversion by motion compensation on an input image signal and generating an output image signal, the apparatus comprising: a first image processing device for performing scaling and color format conversion on the input image signal before the frame rate conversion; a second image processing device for performing scaling on a post-conversion image signal after the frame rate conversion; and a control unit for controlling such that when an image size of the input image signal is to be enlarged, said first image processing device performs the color format conversion without performing the scaling, and said second image processing device performs the scaling so as to generate the output image signal, wherein said control unit controls such that when the image size of the input image signal is not to be enlarged, said first image processing device performs the scaling and the color format conversion, and said second image processing device generates the output image signal without performing the scaling.
