Abstract
An output of a conventional color-difference inter-field interpolating unit () and an output obtained by a color-difference 4:2:0 inter-field interpolating unit () and a color-difference intra-field line interpolating unit () as a progressive signal through inter-field interpolation by changing a 4:2:2 color-difference signal into a 4:2:0 color-difference signal are switched by a color-difference static image processing method selecting/mixing unit () in accordance with an output or the like of a detecting unit () for detecting a characteristic of an image signal. Thus, it is possible to realize color-difference signal IP conversion static image processing in which degradation of a correct 4:2:2 color-difference signal is suppressed and jaggy is reduced with respect to a 4:2:2 color-difference signal obtained through interpolation of a 4:2:0 signal.
