Frame synchronizer, optical disk device, information recording/reproducing apparatus, and signal synchronizing method

Abstract

To provide a frame synchronizer free of any loss of additional information added to frame data of an input video signal. An embodiment of the invention relates to a frame synchronizer for receiving a video signal having a first synchronization signal and frame data on a frame basis, writing the frame data to a memory on the frame basis in accordance with the first synchronization signal, and reading the frame data from the memory on the frame basis in accordance with a second synchronization signal of a frequency different from a frequency of the first synchronization signal to output the frame data, including: a synchronization signal generator generating the second synchronization signal having the frequency higher than a preset standard frequency. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the loss of the additional information added to the frame data in the input video data.
