Patent attributes
An image signal reproduction apparatus for reproducing a main image signal including either a first type of image signal obtained by converting a film material image into an electrical signal or a second type of image signal including a video signal as a material thereof, using a transfer information including the main image signal and a determination flag for determining whether the main image signal is the first type of image signal or the second type of image signal. The reproduction apparatus converts the main image signal to an interlaced scanned image signal of 60 fields per second in response to an output of a first timing signal when the main image signal is determined as the first type of image signal and outputs the converted signal or the main image signal as it is when the main image signal is determined as the second type of image signal.
