Patent ID: 7880784

Claim:
An arrangement for generating a 3D video signal, which produces a 3D effect when it is displayed on a screen, from an input video signal that is made up of frames, each of which has an odd field and an even field, where in order to generate the 3D video signal a sequence of an odd field and an even field, each of which originate from a different one of two successive frames, and subsequently a sequence of a subsequent odd field and a subsequent even field, each of which originate from a different one of a next successive frame and a frame preceding the next successive frame, are provided in the 3D video signal, where in order to generate the 3D video signal a scan converter is used which can display two signals in a split screen mode, one of which is delayed by means of a special function memory in the scan converter, where the non-delayed signal and the delayed signal are written, horizontally compressed by a factor of two, into a conversion memory and, for the purposes of displaying on a screen, when they are read are scaled up by a factor of two in the horizontal direction and shifted horizontally such that they are displayed in the correct convergence.
