Video signal processing apparatus and video signal processing method outputting three-dimensional and two-dimensional output signals in parallel

A video signal processing apparatus comprising:

• an input unit configured to receive a three-dimensional input signal including a left-eye input signal and a right-eye input signal;
• an image processing unit configured to perform image processing on the three-dimensional input signal inputted to said input unit, and to generate a three-dimensional output signal including a left-eye output signal and a right-eye output signal;
• an image converting unit configured to extract one of the left-eye output signal and the right-eye output signal from the three-dimensional output signal generated by said image processing unit, and to generate a two-dimensional output signal;
• a first output terminal which outputs the three-dimensional output signal generated by said image processing unit;
• and
• a second output terminal which outputs the two-dimensional output signal generated by said image converting unit,
• wherein the three-dimensional output signal and the two-dimensional output signal are such that a three-dimensional-compatible device connected to said first output terminal is capable of displaying three-dimensional video at a same time as a non-three-dimensional-compatible device connected to said second output terminal is capable of displaying or recording two-dimensional video.
