Provided is a video processing device that generates a display video signal to be supplied to a liquid crystal display having a liquid crystal that is driven by a frame inversion scheme and includes a control microcomputer and a video signal processor. The control microcomputer controls a data enable signal such that a display invalid section having a predetermined number of fields is set for an interlace video signal at a predetermined period based on a vertical synchronization signal included in the interlace video signal input from outside. The video signal processor generates the display video signal by setting the display invalid section for the interlace video signal based on the data enable signal and outputs the display video signal to the liquid crystal display.

The present invention provides a method and a device for transmitting and receiving a broadcast signal for restoring a pulled-down signal. The method for transmitting the broadcast signal, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: pulling video data down so as to reconfigure the same; encoding the reconfigured video data; encoding signaling information for the reconfigured video data; generating the broadcast signal including the encoded video data and the encoded signaling information; and transmitting the generated broadcast signal.

Method and apparatus for de-interlacing a television signal are provided. The method includes: determining whether a pixel to be interpolated is in a strictly static mode; if it is in the strictly static mode, obtaining a pixel value of a first pixel in a previous field which corresponds to the pixel to be interpolated, and setting a pixel value of the pixel to be interpolated to be equal to the pixel value of the first pixel; if it is not in the strictly static mode, determining gradient bands along a plurality of directions by taking the pixel to be interpolated as a center, determining a direction of the pixel to be interpolated based on the gradient bands, and setting the pixel value of the pixel to be interpolated by interpolation based on the direction. Accuracy of the pixel value of the pixel to be interpolated may be improved.

Efficient editing is enabled when a video material encoded as an interlaced signal is mixed during editing. A first video signal in a progressive mode is obtained. This first video signal is encoded. The first video signal or a second video signal obtained by reducing resolution and/or a frame rate of the first video signal is converted to an interlaced signal from a progressive signal such that a third video signal is obtained. The third video signal is encoded. Encoded data of the first video signal and encoded data of the third video signal are recorded to a recording medium.

The disclosure provides a deinterlacing method, a non-volatile computer storage medium and an electronic apparatus for an interlaced video. The deinterlacing method includes: Detecting a video to be processed being a field video. Determining video frames need to be performed the deinterlacing process in the field video. Performing the deinterlacing process to all pixels in each of the video frames need to be performed the deinterlacing process. Thus, the processing speed and the quality of the processed image are improved.

A system and method are provided for capturing a high resolution, high frame rate video using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. Generally, the method involves transmitting a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) video including a number of video frames from a HDMI-source. Receiving the HDMI video and buffering and splitting each one of the video frames into a plurality of split video frames. Each of the split video frames is converted into a number of USB data packets. USB data packets from each of the split video frames are then interleaved to form a stream of USB data packets. The stream of USB data packets is coupled to a host system, which executes a program to stitch the USB data packets back together to reassemble each of the video frames, and order the video frames to restore or recreate the HDMI video.

Some embodiments of the invention provide a media-editing application that performs frame rate conversion detection on a video. For a video that has been converted from one frame rate and format to another frame rate and format, the application detects the conversion method that has been used in the conversion of the video. Some embodiments perform this frame rate conversion detection by detecting patterns of repeating fields and/or frames in a video sequence created by the different conversion processes. Some embodiments compute (i) a frame difference value for each consecutive frames, (ii) a correlation score for the first and second fields of each frame, and (iii) a correlation score for the second field of each frame and the first field of a succeeding frame. Frame difference values are compared with each other to detect repeated frames and correlation scores are compared with each other to detect repeated fields.

An upstream video processor may perform video processing upon video data to created processed video data. The video processing may include at least one of color correction, contrast correction, gamma correction, sharpness enhancement, and edge enhancement. Metadata indicative of the performed video processing may also be generated. The processed video data and metadata may be passed to a downstream video processor, the latter for use in determining what further video processing, if any, to apply. An intermediate video processor may receive video data and metadata indicating video processing performed thereupon by an upstream video processor. Based on the received metadata, additional video processing may be performed, and new metadata indicating the additional video processing may be generated. Composite metadata may be generated from the received and new metadata and may be passed along with the processed video data to a downstream video processor for use in determining what further video processing, if any, to apply.

A stereoscopic video processing system includes an output image generator configured to generate interpolation frames in interpolation phases using the frames of the input video signal and the motion vector and output the frames of the input video signal or the interpolation frames as the frames of an output video signal. The stereoscopic video processing system further includes an output controller configured to (i) determine whether frames of the input video signal include image regions with motion based on the motion vector, (ii) control the output image generator to output the interpolation frames upon determining the frames of the input video signal include the image regions with motion, and (iii) control the output image generator to output the frames of the input video signal upon determining the frames of the input video signal does not include image regions with motion.
