A digital TV receiver having an aspect ratio conversion function.
요즘 개발중인 디지털TV수상기는 아날로그방송신호 및 디지털방송신호를 수신하여 소정의 데이터처리를 한후 복원된 영상을 화면상에 디스플레이하기 위한 TV수상기로서, 시스템의 완전(full) 디지털화를 지향하면서도 아날로그방송신호까지 신호처리할 수 있도록 하는 TV시스템이다. 또한, TV화면의 대형화, 및 다기능화 추세에 따라 화면의 현장감을 높일 수 있고, 와이드스크린의 종횡규격에 맞는 16:9의 화면비를 갖는 TV수상기를 채용하는 경향이 두드러지고 있다. 이러한 16:9의 화면비를 갖는 디지털TV수상기는, 수신되는 영상신호의 화면비가 16:9이면 이를 16:9의 화면비를 갖는 와이드스크린에 영상의 일그러짐 없이 그대로 출력한다.The digital TV receiver currently being developed is a TV receiver for receiving an analog broadcast signal and a digital broadcast signal and displaying a restored image on a screen after performing predetermined data processing. The analog TV signal is directed to full digitalization of the system. It is a TV system that enables signal processing. In addition, according to the trend toward larger and more versatile TV screens, there is a tendency to adopt a TV receiver having a 16: 9 aspect ratio that can increase the realism of the screen and fit the aspect ratio of the wide screen. When the aspect ratio of the received video signal is 16: 9, the digital TV receiver having the 16: 9 aspect ratio outputs the same to the wide screen having the aspect ratio of 16: 9 without distortion of the image.
하지만 전술한 디지털TV수상기는, 4:3의 화면비를 갖는 영상신호를 수신하여 16:9의 와이드스크린상에 그대로 디스플레이하면 수평으로 상퍼짐이 발생하는 문제점이 있다. 또한, 이 디지털TV수상기는 입력되는 영상신호의 4:3 화면비를 16:9의 화면비로 수평방향으로 동일한 비율로 확대하여 디스플레이하더라도 상퍼짐 현상이 해소되지 않는 문제점이 있다.However, the above-described digital TV receiver has a problem in that when a video signal having an aspect ratio of 4: 3 is received and displayed as it is on a 16: 9 wide screen, horizontal spreading occurs. In addition, the digital TV receiver has a problem in that the spreading phenomenon is not solved even when the 4: 3 aspect ratio of the input video signal is displayed at the same ratio in the horizontal direction at a 16: 9 aspect ratio.
전술한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 본 발명의 목적은, 수신되는 영상프레임에 포함된 각 수평라인의 데이터를 그 라인의 중앙으로 갈수록 데이터를 압축하고, 그 라인의 시작과 끝위치로 갈수록 데이터를 신장하여 화면비를 변환하고, 이를 디지털TV의 HD(high definition)디스플레이이 포맷으로 변환하여 스크린상에 디스플레이함으로써 수평으로 상퍼짐 현상이 없는 디지털TV수상기를 제공함에 있다.An object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to compress the data of each horizontal line included in the received image frame toward the center of the line, and to expand the data toward the start and end of the line The present invention provides a digital TV receiver which does not have a horizontal spreading phenomenon by converting an aspect ratio and converting it into a format of a high definition (HD) display of a digital TV and displaying it on a screen.

The image output unit 16 is a CRT 16c for displaying an image by driving the RGB driver 16b and the RGB driver 16b that receive the outputs of the OSGM (On Screen Graphics &Mixer; 16a) and the OSGM 16a. ).
영상출력부(16)에 구비된 OSGM(16a)은 별도로 입력되는 문자 및 도형과 관련된 캡션데이터를 포맷변환부(14)로부터의 영상신호와 합성하여 RGB드라이버(16a)로 출력한다. RGB드라이버(16a)는 입력되는 영상의 원색신호(RGB)를 수평동기신호(H) 및 수직동기신호(V)에 따라 CRT(16c)의 스크린상에 디스플레이한다. 이로써, CRT(16c)의 스크린상에는 4:3화면비가 아닌 16:9화면비 또는 사용자에 의해 선택된 화면비를 갖는 영상신호가 수평으로 상퍼짐 현상없이 출력된다.The OSGM 16a included in the image output unit 16 synthesizes caption data related to characters and graphics separately input with the image signal from the format conversion unit 14 and outputs them to the RGB driver 16a. The RGB driver 16a displays the primary color signal RGB of the input image on the screen of the CRT 16c in accordance with the horizontal synchronizing signal H and the vertical synchronizing signal V. FIG. Thus, on the screen of the CRT 16c, an image signal having a 16: 9 aspect ratio or an aspect ratio selected by the user, rather than a 4: 3 aspect ratio, is output horizontally without a phenomenon of spreading.
