Abstract
A still picture generating apparatus which can create still pictures without deterioration in the picture quality from MUSE signals having a frame memory 32 for executing motion compensation by moving the position of the stored data by signals MVH and MVV and executes frame insertion processing by functioning together with switch 30. When the freeze operation is carried out, switch 30 selects the contact point a side and freeze encoder 62 outputs the motion vector as is in the first timing period, a signal which is half the motion vector in the second timing period, and numerical value 0 in the third timing period to frame memory 32 as signals MVH and MVV. By the operation, the positions of the data of two fields stored in frame memory 32 are superimposed by being frame inserted by the aforementioned operation and still pictures are created by executing a prescribed process.
