Abstract
A data slicerincludes a slice level calculation unitthat determines whether a detected digital video signal is a CRI signal on the basis of the amplitude of the signal, and sets a reference slice level and upper and lower slice levels which are obtained by providing offset in the reference slice level, by using only the CRI signal; a data slicing unitthat binarizes a digital video signal Susing the slice levels; a decoding circuitthat converts binarized serial data into parallel data; and a data selection unitthat selects data including no error from the decoded data, and outputs the selected data through a video signal output terminal. Therefore, even when the video signal is distorted, this data slicer can set appropriate slice level data to binarize the video signal, thereby suppressing the occurrence rate of decoding errors.
