Abstract

Method and apparatus for converting a hivision TV image signal to a computer terminal image signal are disclosed. Three line memories are provided for three continuous scan lines in a field. Data of one scan line of a hivision TV image signal is written into one of the three line memories and data previously written into other two are read therefrom. A read sampling clock period is set to be 4/5 of a write sampling clock period, and the outputs of the two line memories are linearly interpolated so that the scan lines appear at the same position in first and second fields.
