Digital video signal processing device and TV camera device arranged to use it

摘要

A digital video signal processing device for clipping a digital video signal to keep the signal at a predetermined level, includes an interpolation data signal generating unit for predicting video signal levels between adjacent sampling points for generating an interpolation data signal, clipping units for clipping the sampled video signal and the interpolation data signal at their levels, and a synthesizing unit for performing a predictive coding operation with respect to at least any one of the clipped video signal and the interpolation data signal and synthesizing these signals with each other.
