Television receiver capable of enlarging and compressing image

摘要

To provide an image which is matched with an aspect ratio of a screen of a display unit by compressing and enlarging the whole of the image to a desired size. A video signal is sequentially written into a field memory in response to a write clock from an input terminal (118). A clock generating circuit (119) supplies the field memory (103) with a read clock having a frequency which is about 4/3 times as high as that of the write clock. A vertical enlargement control circuit (110) reads a video signal from the field memory (103) with a line period corresponding to a magnification factor and inhibits writing to a one-line memory (105) with the same period to provide a line delayed output for an output signal from the field memory (13). A vertical interpolating circuit (106) generates a scanning line signal by an interpolation operation in accordance with a control signal from the vertical enlargement control circuit (110).
