ABSTRACT:
A video signal conversion apparatus which can enhance display qualities for video signals of both film source and video source. The conversion apparatus includes an input signal discrimination unit which discriminates the sort and signal supply source of an input video signal, and an operation mode setting unit which sets the operation modes of the individual sorts of video signals for each of a plurality of signal supply sources. The operation mode which corresponds to the sort and signal supply source of the input video signal as discriminated by the input signal discrimination unit is obtained from the operation mode setting unit, and the operation of at least one of a film source discrimination unit, an interlace/progressive conversion unit and a frame rate conversion unit is controlled in accordance with the obtained operation mode.
