Abstract: The present invention relates to an image signal processing apparatus capable of reproducing the appearance of an image that is displayed on a PDP. In an image processing unit 1, as a process for an image signal so that an image obtained when the image signal is displayed on a display apparatus of a display type other than that of a PDP can look like an image displayed on a PDP display apparatus, at least one of reproducing color shift caused by a moving image which is produced because lighting of RGB is turned on in this order, reproducing a dither pattern to be applied in a space direction, reproducing a dither pattern to be applied in a time direction, reproducing a space between pixel pitches, and reproducing a stripe array is performed. The present invention can be applied to a case where, for example, an image that can look like an image displayed on a PDP is to be displayed on an LCD.

Abstract: A signal processing device and method, a program, and a recording medium configured so as to be able to detect 2-3 pulldown sequences, from various types of input, in a precise manner. A state estimation unit determines whether or not still positions between 10 fields to be handled fit the still positions of a 2-3 pulldown pattern configured of 12 fields including one sequence, using a difference evaluation value, a threshold value, and feature quantity, calculated by an evaluation value feature quantity calculating unit from the field of an 60I signal from an input terminal, and a field positioned temporally two fields earlier in the field memory, determination is made regarding whether or not a pattern regarding which determination has been made to fit has repeated transition in a transition order which the 2-3 pulldown pattern has for a predetermined number of times or more, and processing of an inverse 2-3 pd conversion unit is controlled according to the results of determination.

Abstract: An informational signal processing apparatus comprising an adjustment device that permits a user to adjust a space resolution adjustment value and a time resolution adjustment value output uninterruptedly. From the adjustment values output to the testing terminal, an acquisition device acquires a final adjustment value through a series of adjustments of these adjustment values and an adjustment value in a process of changes all the way to this final adjustment value and transmits them to an accumulation device. The accumulation device stores a final adjustment value through each series of adjustment and history information related to a process of changes in adjustment value all the way to the final adjustment value. Based on the history information, reliability of the final adjustment value can be decided.
