Video signal receiving apparatus and video signal receiving method, and video signal recording/reproducing apparatus and video signal recording/reproducing method

摘要

The video signal receiving apparatus comprises a receiving unit configured to receive a video signal on which frequency information for viewing limit is multiplexed during a video blanking period of a specific line in an interlace system, an output unit configured to selectively output the received video signal in an interlaced state or in a state of being converted into a progressive video signal, a detecting unit configured to detect the frequency information for viewing limit which is multiplexed during the video blanking period from the received video signal, and a controller configured to limit an output of the video signal from the output unit when the output unit is requested to output a progressive video signal in a state where the frequency information is detected.
