Patent ID: 8643697

Claim:
A video processing apparatus comprising: an input unit to which a content, in which a 3D video signal and a 2D video signal exist mixedly, is inputted; a discriminating unit for discriminating whether a video signal of the content which is inputted to said input unit is a 3D video signal or a 2D video signal; and a frequency converting unit for converting a clock frequency of a video signal of the content which was determined as a 2D video signal by said discriminating unit; and a video signal output unit for outputting a video signal of the content inputted to said input unit or a video signal of the content whose clock frequency has been converted by said frequency converting unit in accordance with a determination made by the discriminating unit, wherein said frequency converting unit is configured to convert the clock frequency of a video signal of the content which was determined as a 2D video signal by said discriminating unit into a same clock frequency as a clock frequency of the 3D video signal which is inputted to said input unit, wherein said video signal output unit is configured to output the 3D video signal inputted to said input unit without converting the clock frequency of the 3D video signal when a video signal of the content inputted to said input unit is determined by the discriminating unit to be the 3D video signal, and wherein said video signal output unit is configured to output the 2D video signal whose clock frequency has been converted by said frequency converting unit to be the same clock frequency as the 3D video signal inputted to said input circuit when a video signal of the content inputted to said input unit is determined by the discriminating unit to be the 2D video signal.
