APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONVERTING IMAGE SIGNAL
First Claim
1. A method of converting a digital image signal, which is obtained through an image sensor comprising a plurality of pixels that are arranged in a matrix, into an analog image signal in order to transmit the analog image signal to a monitor which is configured to output an image complying with a national television system committee (NTSC) standard or a phase-alternating line (PAL) standard, the method comprising:
- generating a sample frequency by dividing a number of horizontal pixels of the digital image signal by a horizontal scan period of the NTSC standard or the PAL standard; and
converting image data of the horizontal pixels of the digital image signal into the analog image signal, according to the sample frequency.

Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and method of converting a digital image signal, which is obtained through an image sensor comprising a plurality of pixels that are arranged in a matrix, into an analog image signal in order to transmit the analog image signal to a monitor device that outputs an image complying with a national television system committee (NTSC) standard or a phase-alternating line (PAL) standard. The method includes: generating a sample frequency based on the number of horizontal pixels of the digital image signal to comply with a horizontal scan period of the NTSC standard or the PAL standard; and converting image data of the horizontal pixels of the digital image signal into the analog image signal, according to the sample frequency.
