Abstract

The present invention relates to an information signal processor and the like preferable for use in the case of converting a format of an image signal or converting an image size. An input image signal, Vin, is converted into an output image signal, Vout that has different format and/or size therefrom. A class code, CL, is obtained from tap data extracted from the Vin and corresponding to each pixel (pixel at a target position) within a unit pixel block, which constitutes Vout. Product-sum devicegenerates the coefficient data, ato a, in the upper layered production equation in each class according to the lower layered production equation using coefficient seed data, bto b, of each class and resolution information, g and f, during vertical blanking period, while it generates the coefficient data, Wi, in the estimated equation, according to the upper layered production equation during effective vertical scanning period using the coefficient data, ato a, in connection with the class code CL and phase information, h and v. A calculation circuitprovides pixel data, y, at the target position according to the estimated equation using the tap data, xi, corresponding to the target position and the coefficient data, Wi, obtained by the product-sum device
