Abstract

On the transmission side, a delay unit, an adder, and a subtracter obtain an interframe sum output by calculating, in units of two frames, an interframe average sum of progressive scanning signals each having N scanning lines per frame, and an interframe difference output by calculating, in units of two frames, an interframe average difference related to moving image data. The interframe sum output is band-limited to a band which can be transmitted with a conventional scheme by switching, time expansion, vertical filtering, and first scanning line count conversion, and converted into M scanning lines per frame. The interframe difference output is band-limited to a band effective for resolution improvement of a moving image in a receiver of a conventional scheme by switching, time expansion, vertical filtering, horizontal filtering, and second scanning line count conversion, and converted into M scanning lines per frame. Outputs obtained by first and second scanning line count conversions are input to a sum arithmetic means to generate a first frame signal, and input to a difference arithmetic means to generate a second frame signal. The first and second frame signals are transmitted as an interlace scanning signal of M scanning lines per frame for a central portion thereof.
