Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve an S/N by converting an input signal to a luminance signal, differentiating the two kinds of respective primary color signals, which are obtained from the input signal, and the luminance signal and generating the two kinds of color difference signals. CONSTITUTION:To a signal S2, gamma conversion is executed in a gamma converting circuit 4 (a signal S3) and a carrier component, which is caused by the repetition of a color filter, is removed by a first low-pass filter 5. Then, the signal S2 is outputted to an external part as a luminance signal Y'. To the signal S3, a band is limited to the band of a color signal by a second low- pass filter 6 and the signal S3 is defined as a low band luminance signal YL' and supplied to subtracting circuits 16 and 17. The low band luminance signal YL' is subtracted in the subtracting circuits 16 and 17 and both color difference signals R-Y' and B-YL' are obtained. Thus, the S/N can be improved.
