Abstract

See full text

A video processor which is capable of arbitrarily expanding or contracting an image in a vertical direction is described. A horizontal synchronizing signal HS of a video signal CS is inputted to a reference input terminal 63a of a phase comparator 63 of a PLL circuit 62 to take out a clock signal CK having a frequency N1 times larger than that of the horizontal synchronizing signal HS. This clock signal is frequency-divided by N2. Since N2 is set to the number of horizontal synchronizing signals within a vertical synchronous period, the number of sampling lines in a vertical direction becomes equal to N1. Accordingly, When an output signal (line clock signal LCK) of the frequency divider 67 is used as a signal for increment of a vertical address of a video memory 70, enlargement/contraction of an image can be carried out by changing N1.
