Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter converts a video signal into a digital video signal consisting of N bits and outputs the converted signal. A correction value memory stores correction data consisting of M bits which is used to correct the difference in luminance between display pixels on a display. A multiplier multiplies the video signal consisting of N bits output from the analog-to-digital converter by the correction data consisting of M bits stored in the correction value memory, and outputs a video signal consisting of L bits with which the difference in luminance between display pixels on the display is corrected.

Abstract: A control unit determines whether a flag for instructing execution of finalize process is set. In the case where dubbing is automatically stopped under any of the conditions “no signal in predetermined period,” “TAPE-END” and “DISC-FULL,” the flag for instructing execution of finalize process is set and thus the control unit executes finalize process. In contrast, in the case where the flag for instructing execution of finalize process is not set due to the fact for example that the user manually stops the dubbing by means of an operation unit, the whole process is ended without execution of finalize process. Accordingly, it is unnecessary for the user to manually perform finalize process while checking a monitor at the spot. Thus, a recording and reproducing apparatus improving the convenience for the user in dubbing from a magnetic tape to a disc medium can be provided.

Abstract: A judging unit compares data in a dither table for each display pixel with a numerical value of low-order 2 bits of an input signal (12 bits) and outputs 1 to an adder when the numerical value of the low-order 2 bits of the input signal is larger than the data in the dither table, while outputting 0 to the adder in other cases. The adder adds the value outputted from the judging unit to an uneven luminance correction value read from a correction memory, so that the uneven luminance correction value is corrected. A multiplier multiplies the input signal by the uneven luminance correction value after the correction.

Abstract: In an update operation of uneven luminance correction values, a display area of a flat display is handled as if it is divided into a plurality of small areas A to I. Then, in one update operation of the uneven luminance correction values, the uneven luminance correction values are updated only for one of these small areas A to I. Therefore, by performing the update operation of the uneven luminance correction values the same number of times as the number (9) of the small areas A to I, the uneven luminance correction values for the whole display area of the flat display are updated.
