Abstract
A scanning line converting apparatus for converting the number of scanning lines of an output video signal into an arbitrary under of the scanning lines to form an output image signal. The scanning line converting apparatus includes a discriminator for discriminating an aspect ratio of a picture formed in accordance with a format of the input video signal and a display for displaying the discriminated aspect ratio. Since the discriminator discriminates the aspect ratio of the picture indicated by the input image signal and the display displays the discriminated aspect ratio, it is possible to adjust the monitor to display a picture of a proper aspect ratio based on the displayed aspect ratio.
Claims4
An aspect ratio display system for displaying an aspect ratio in accordance with a scanning line converting apparatus for converting the number of scanning lines of an input video signal into an arbitrary number of the scanning lines thereof to form an output image signal, comprising:
- a discriminating means for discriminating an aspect ratio of a picture formed in accordance with a format of said input video signal;
- an operation panel for displaying a type of said discriminated input video signal;
- a setting means for setting a signal format of said output image signal;
- a control means for controlling said scanning line converting apparatus in accordance with said format of said input signal and said signal format of said output image signal;
- and
- a display means for displaying the discriminated aspect ratio in conjunction with said output image.
