Abstract

A digital image signal recording apparatus can record a digital image signal in which a picture quality can be prevented from being deteriorated even when dubbing is repeated. The digital image signal recording apparatus in which a digital image signal is recorded in the form of a compressed digital image signal uses an even rounding circuit as a device for rounding a signal calculated result. The even rounding circuit includes an added value generating circuit (104) for generating an added value to be added to an input digital signal at its low-order bits to be rounded-off, an adder (102) for adding the added value to the input digital signal, and a circuit (106) for omitting the low-order bits of an added result.
