ABSTRACT:
A rate conversion unit determines a frame thinning-out rate to thin out frames on the basis of a recording rate at the time of photographing and a display rate for display on a display apparatus so that a temporal updating interval of a video image between continuous fields becomes constant. After that, a frame is repeatedly inserted so that a frame rate becomes equal to the display rate.
