Abstract:
A motion detection signal delivered from a mixer (8) is output through a series circuit of a maximum value calculation portion (16) and a minimum value calculation portion (23). In each of the calculation portions (16, 23), calculation is performed within a block of 3-dot x 3-line. Missing of motion detection is prevented from occurring in the maximum value calculation portion (16) because the motion detection signal of the pixel under attention is calculated therein with the values within the block and, accordingly, the motion detection signal is expanded in the horizontal and vertical directions. A detection spread to a still picture portion occurring in the calculation portion is suppressed in the minimum value calculation portion (23) because, when surrounding motion detection signals therein are lower than the motion detection signal of the pixel under attention, the motion detection signal of the pixel under attention is replaced with the lower value. With the described arrangement, the missing of motion detection is advantageously prevented without inviting the detection spread to a still picture portion.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the generated code value of the motion vector that is caused, when the motion compensation processing is carried out by a coding means and to effectively code the video data, while preventing the image deterioration by applying the 1st pixel number conversion processing with respect to the video data in response to the moved variable of an image. SOLUTION: A video coding device 10 detects the moved variable of an image decided, based on the video data D10 via a moved variable detecting circuit 13 in every prescribed number of frames. When the detected moved variable is larger than a prescribed threshold, a coding part 17 compresses and codes the pixel number coverted video data D13 obtained via a pixel number converting circuit 16, by reducing horizontal pixel number M2 down to horizontal pixel number N2 for the data D10. Thus, the generated code value of a motion vector can be reduced to N2/M2 times. As a result, the quantization step size is reduced, and the deterioration of resolution can be suppressed in a DCT space, when for example the variable length coding data D22 are outputted at a fixed bit rate.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To convert the video signal and the synchronizing signal of the interlace and progressive video information and synchronizing signal mutually by converting interlace synchronizing signals whose scanning line number is N into progressive synchronizing signals of N/2 lines or converting progressing synchronizing signals whose scanning line number is M into interlace synchronizing signals whose scanning line number is M/2 corresponding to control information. SOLUTION: A synchronizing signal conversion circuit 12 converts interlace synchronizing signals whose scanning line number is N into progressive synchronizing signals whose scanning line number is N/2 in the case of a control signal set to '0', and the circuit 12 converts progressive synchronizing signals whose scanning line number is M into interlace synchronizing signals whose scanning line number is M/2 in the case of a control signal set to '1', and then conducts no conversion in the case of a control signal set to '2'. For example, the circuit 12 converts received interlace synchronizing signals whose scanning line number is 1125 into progressing synchronizing signals whose scanning line number is 562 or 563 in the case of the control signal set to '0'.

The output step is provided with pseudo high-vision signal inverting means 21A-24F so as to transform the supplied pseudo high-vision signals to the NTSC signals of four systems or the MUSE signals of two systems and to output them. Thus, the recording area of the tape can be effectively utilized.
