Apparatus and method for processing video signal

Abstract

According to one embodiment, an MPEG noise reduction processing unit which performs a process of reducing a mosquito noise to a received video signal can be controlled in a setting state corresponding to a desired item selected on the setting screen in which the plural items to be set are displayed as an option.

1 .- 12 . (canceled) 
   
   
       13 . A video signal processing apparatus comprising:
 a receiving unit configured to receive a video signal;   a processing unit configured to perform at least one of first and second noise reduction processes on the video signal received by the receiving unit, wherein one of execution and stopping of the first noise reduction process is selectable, and an intensity of the first noise reduction process is adjustable; and   a setting unit configured to perform setting for selection of the first and second noise reduction processes by the processing unit, selection of said one of the execution and stopping of the first noise reduction process, and changing of the intensity of the first noise reduction process.   
   
   
       14 . The video signal processing apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the first noise reduction process is a noise reduction process for a video signal subjected to a compression and expanding process by an MPEG method. 
   
   
       15 . The video signal processing apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the processing unit is configured to select one of the execution and stopping of the first noise reduction process in response to a first signal, and change the intensity of the first noise reduction process in response to a second signal. 
   
   
       16 . The video signal processing apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the setting unit is configured to select one of the first and second noise reduction processes on a setting screen. 
   
   
       17 . The video signal processing apparatus of  claim 16 , wherein the setting unit is configured to include an item of adjusting a color temperature on the setting screen. 
   
   
       18 . The video signal processing apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the processing unit comprises:
 a first section which inputs a first signal for selecting one of the execution and stopping of the first noise reduction process; and   a second section which inputs a second signal for changing the intensity of the first noise reduction process.
