Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a scaling converter, a luminance histogram detector, a determination module, and a super resolution processor. The scaling converter converts a first image signal to a second image signal having more pixels. The luminance histogram detector detects a luminance histogram. The determination module determines whether the second image signal includes a graphics image based on the luminance histogram. The super resolution processor converts the second image signal to a third image signal with a higher resolution than that of the second image signal, and performs sharpening based on the reference gain. When the second image signal includes a graphics image, the super resolution processor sets the gain of sharpening below the reference gain.

Abstract: A buffer delays an input luminance signal by a 1-frame period. A screen unit motion detection section determines whether an image indicated by the input luminance signal is a moving image or a static image by a screen unit, and outputs a gradual determination result from the static image to the moving image. A subtracter outputs a differential signal obtained by subtracting the input luminance signal from the luminance signal delayed by the 1-frame period. A pixel unit motion detector detects motion of a pixel unit and outputs a detection result by using a plurality of level values within a predetermined range. A limiter limits the differential signal in accordance with the determination result of the screen unit motion detector. An adder adds an output signal of the multiplier and the input luminance signal together.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a reproduction control unit receives a time stamped stream TTS via a network. A TTS processing unit generates a real time stream TS from the TTS on the basis of the time stamp added to each packet of packets in the TTS. A decode unit decodes the TTS, and outputs video data and audio data in real time. A demultiplexer has a buffer which temporarily records the TTS provided from the reproduction control unit, and provides the TTS recorded in the buffer to the TTS processing unit and provides the same to the decode unit. As a result, the stream received from the network is transmitted and recorded to an external device in real time, and at the same time, the stream is reproduced in real time by a display device or the like.

Abstract: A digital broadcast receiving device includes a first processor for extracting added information, a storage device for storing the added information, and a second processor having a low power consumption mode and a normal power mode, for effecting the circuit control for the watching and listening operation according to a preset program and the added information. The first processor informs the second processor that the added information is extracted, the second processor changes the mode thereof to the normal power mode when it is informed from the first processor that the added information is extracted while it is set in the low power consumption mode in the standby state, writes the added information extracted by the first processor into the storage device, and changes the mode thereof into the low power consumption mode after completion of the write operation.
