  • Patent number: 9530236
    Abstract: A time code display device includes a time code extraction unit that extracts a left image time code from a left image signal that constitutes a stereoscopic image and a right image time code from a right image signal that constitutes the stereoscopic image; a time code comparison unit that compares the left image time code with the right image time code and outputs a comparison result including information on agreement or disagreement between the left and right image time codes; and a display determination unit that determines to display the left and right image time codes in the same manner when the comparison result indicates agreement therebetween, determines to display the left and right image time codes in different manners when the comparison result indicates disagreement therebetween, and displays the left and right image time codes on a display unit.

  • Patent number: 8760497
    Abstract: A video processing device includes an input unit that receives a video signal for a left channel and a video signal for a right channel, a synchronization processing unit that performs a synchronization process used to correct mismatches between timings of the video signal for the left channel and the video signal for the right channel which are input to the input unit, a changing unit that changes video signal components of the video signal for the left channel and the video signal for the right channel which have undergone the synchronization process in the synchronization processing unit at an instructed timing and selects and outputs a synchronization signal component of either of the video signals, a control unit that performs setting for a video signal selected by the changing unit depending on an instructed mode, and an output unit that outputs the video signal selected by the changing unit.

  • Patent number: 8471896
    Abstract: A signal processing apparatus includes: a phase matching unit which matches phases of a left image signal and a right image signal input from two cameras which are disposed so as to be matched with an interval between both eyes of a human to image the same object; and a phase adjusting unit which moves in a horizontal direction by a predetermined distance both or any one of a left image and a right image displayed on a display unit by the left image signal and the right image signal by changing the phases of the left image signal and/or the right image signal in the horizontal direction based on displacement amounts of phases designated by an operating unit, and outputs the left image signal and the right image signal obtained by changing disparity between the left image and the right image.

  • Publication number: 20110249017
    Abstract: An image processing device includes an input unit that receives at least one of image signals for a left channel and image signals for a right channel, a color conversion processing unit that converts at least one of the image signals for the left channel and the image signals for the right channel, which are input to the input unit, into image signals for a solid color image of a specific color, and an output unit that outputs image signals including the image signals converted in the color conversion processing unit.

  • Publication number: 20110242282
    Abstract: A signal processing device includes a synchronization separation unit that separates horizontal and vertical synchronization signals from image signals, a dot counter which counts the number of dots of the image signals, a line counter which counts the number of lines of the image signals, a determination unit which determines the number of pixels in an image display area based on the number of dots and the number of lines, a control unit which controls the timing for shifting and outputting either of the left or the right image signal so that a left or a right image is displayed side by side in a display area in a size where a user can recognize the left or the right image among display areas in a display unit, and a first image signal shift unit which outputs the left or the right image signal to the display unit.
