Abstract
A digital noise reducer includes an addition circuit for adding a digital input video signal supplied at one input thereof and a signal supplied at the other input thereof and for outputting a resultant sum signal, a delay circuit for delaying the output signal of the addition circuit by an input unit period of the digital input video signal, a subtraction circuit supplied with the digital input video signal and an output signal of the delay circuit, the subtraction circuit forming and outputting a difference component signal for the digital input video signal and the output signal of the delay circuit, and a characteristic adjustment circuit for manipulating a signal characteristic of the difference component output of the subtraction circuit in accordance with the characteristic of the difference component signal outputted from the subtraction circuit and/or a characteristic of a digital output video signal outputted from the addition circuit and for outputting a resultant manipulated signal to the other input of the addition circuit.
