VIDEO SIGNAL-PROCESSING TECHNIQUE FOR VIDEO PRINTER

Video-Camera users hope to leave the photograph of their favorite scene from their original tape. We have developed a new video printer that has the following features: popular price, compact size, light weight, low consumption power, and high quality printing. The video printer has been developed by using two techniques. One is the digital picture processing technique that improves picture quality beyond input picture quality. The other is the reduction of parts, including an A/D converter and a D/A converter. This paper describes the digital picture processing technique used in this video printer.
