Abstract

A first image signal for a screen wider than that obtained by a TV signal of an existing television system is converted to a multiplexed signal that can be reproduced with a receiver of the existing television system, and input to a selector. The selector divides the input signal into a center portion signal and upper and lower black bar portions signals of the screen. The multiplexed signal has a center portion signal as an image display portion and upper and lower black bar portion signals as non-image portions. A difference signal (first LD signal) is multiplexed on the upper and lower black bar portion signals. A rearranging unit, a 5-time expander, a double speed converter, a delay unit, and a selector reproduce the first LD signal from the upper and lower black bar portion signals. A delay unit and a double speed converter double-speed convert the center portion signal. A line interpolator and a selector generate a progressive scanning signal. A 5.fwdarw.6 converter expands the progressive scanning signal in the vertical direction. The first LD signal is added to the interpolated scanning line of the first field by an adder. An LD generator generates a second LD signal from t…
