Abstract
An apparatus for automatically detecting and selecting between progressively scanned and interlaced signals has an input video signalapplied to a progressive frame detector, a de-interlacerand a compensating delaywhich has the same latency as the de-interlacer. The progressive frame detector determines if the input video signal is an interlaced signal or a progressively scanned signal. If it is determined that the applied signal is interlaced, then output from the de-interlaceris selected. If, on the other hand, it is determined that the applied signal is progressively scanned, then the input video signal is selected after passing through the compensating delay. In both instances, the selected output is a progressive video signalwhich may be transmitted if the device is used in an encoder or applied to a display device if the apparatus is used in a decoder.
