Claims
- 1. A video signal processing device, comprising:
- storage means having divided storage areas for storing one frame of picture data as one frame of picture data when a frame storing mode is selected and as separate fields of picture data when a field storing mode is selected;
- reading means for reading stored picture data from the storage means as one frame of picture data when a frame reading mode is selected, and as only one field of picture data when a field reading mode is selected;
- storage control means for controlling a switching of modes of storing the picture data in the storage means and for causing, when a plurality of frames of picture data are to be stored in the frame storing mode, the plurality of frames of the picture data to be stored in the divided storage areas, with a separate divided storage area assigned to each one of the plurality of frames;
- reading control means for controlling a switching of modes of reading the picture data from the storage means and for causing, when each of the plurality of frames of picture data have been stored in separate divided storage areas assigned to such picture data, the read stored picture data to be output in a frame output mode; and
- picture printing means for printing a picture corresponding to the stored picture data read out from the storage means.
- 2. The video signal processing device of claim 2, wherein the storage control means further comprises:
- means for changing the mode of storing to the frame storing mode when the mode of reading is a field reading mode and the mode of storing is a field storing mode; and
- means for retaining the mode of storing as the frame storing mode when the mode of reading is the field reading mode and the mode of storing is the frame storing mode.
- 3. The video signal processing device of claim 2, further comprising:
- means for displaying as one picture a picture corresponding to the picture data stored in the divided storage means after confirmation that picture data is stored in all of the storage areas of the storage means and for controlling the picture printing means to print a picture corresponding to the picture data after display of the one picture by the means for displaying.
- 4. The video signal processing device of claim 1, further comprising:
- printing control means for interpolating field picture data in response to a user determination of a blur in the displayed picture and an input from the user confirming such determination.
- 5. The video signal processing device of claim 1, further comprising:
- printing control means for interpolating field picture data in response to a user selection of a field print mode.
- 6. A method of processing a video signal, comprising the steps of:
- storing within divided storage areas one frame of picture data as one frame of picture data when a frame storing mode is selected and as separate fields of picture data when a field storing mode is selected;
- reading stored picture data from the divided storage areas as one frame of picture data when a frame reading mode is selected, and as only one field of picture data when a field reading mode is selected;
- controlling a switching of modes of storing the picture data in the divided storage areas and for causing, when a plurality of frames of picture data are to be stored in the frame storing mode, the plurality of frames of the picture data to be stored in the divided storage areas, with a separate divided storage area assigned to each one of the plurality of frames;
- controlling a switching of modes of reading the picture data from the storage means and for causing, when each of the plurality of frames of picture data have been stored in separate divided storage areas assigned to such picture data, the read stored picture data to be output in a frame output mode; and
- printing a picture corresponding to the stored picture data read out from the storage means.
- 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising the steps of:
- changing the mode of storing to the frame storing mode when the mode of reading is a field reading mode and the mode of storing is a field storing mode; and
- retaining the mode of storing as the frame storing mode when the mode of reading is the field reading mode and the mode of storing is the frame storing mode.
- 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising the steps of:
- displaying as one picture a picture corresponding to the picture data stored in the divided storage means after confirmation that picture data is stored in all of the storage areas of the storage means; and
- wherein the printing of the picture corresponding to the picture data occurs after display of the one picture by the means for displaying.
- 9. The method of claim 6, further comprising the step of:
- interpolating field picture data in response to a user determination of a blur in the displayed picture and an input from the user confirming such determination.
- 10. The method of video signal processing device of claim 6, further comprising the step of:
- interpolating field picture data in response to a user selection of a field print mode.
