VIDEO SIGNAL PROCESSING APPARATUS AND VIDEO SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD

1 . A video signal processing apparatus, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive input of a predetermined video display mode;

a video converter configured to generate video data by sampling a video signal with a predetermined resolution inputted from the outside at an arbitrary sampling frequency and capable of processings of scaling and filtering in a horizontal and a vertical direction to the generated video data, and performing the processing by receiving control; and

a controller configured to control, when the input of the predetermined video display mode is received by the receiver, the sampling frequency to make the number of display pixels in the horizontal direction of the video data be close to the number of pixels of a display panel and to control the video converter not to perform the scaling processing in the horizontal direction.

2 . The video signal processing apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein when the predetermined video display mode is a mode to display a game video of 480 P, in this mode the controller controls a sampling frequency in a horizontal valid period of the video converter to be 64 MHz and controls a game video to be imported with the number of the lines unchanged with regard to the vertical direction, and controls the video converter not to perform scaling in the horizontal direction and to perform scaling in the vertical direction at a rate of an integral multiple.

3 . The video signal processing apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein when the predetermined video display mode is a mode to display a game video of 480 P, in this mode the controller controls a sampling frequency in a horizontal valid period of the video converter to be 72 MHz and controls a game video to be imported with the number of the lines unchanged with regard to the vertical direction, and controls the video converter not to perform scaling in the horizontal direction and to perform scaling at a rate of 2.25-times (2.25×) and to perform filtering in the vertical direction.

4 . The video signal processing apparatus of claim 1 , comprising,

the display panel displaying a video outputted from the video converter in a screen having a resolution of at least twice a line number in the vertical direction of the game video and capable of drawing a video with arbitrary numbers of horizontal and vertical display pixels.

5 . The video signal processing apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the predetermined video display mode is a mode to display a game video; and

wherein a screen setting menu dedicated to games to select the above mode is displayed.

6 . The video signal processing apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the controller judges whether or not a type of an inputted video is of 480 P from format information of the video obtained via a control line of a terminal to which the analog video signal is inputted; and

wherein, in a case that the type of the video is of 480 P, an item to perform video conversion is displayed in the screen setting menu dedicated to games when the predetermined video display mode is “game mode”, and in a case that the type of the video is not of 480 P, an item to perform dot-by-dot display is displayed in the screen setting menu dedicated to games even when the predetermined video display mode is “game mode”.

7 . A video signal processing method, comprising:

controlling, when input of a predetermined video display mode is received, a sampling frequency to make the number of display pixels in a horizontal direction of the video data be close to the number of pixels of a display panel;

generating digital video data by sampling an analog video signal with a predetermined resolution inputted from the outside at the controlled sampling frequency; and

controlling not to perform a scaling processing in a horizontal direction to the generated video data.
