1. An apparatus comprising:

  • a memory which successively stores frame data of video data;

    an interpolating unit which generates interpolation frame data which is inserted between the frame data and stores the interpolation frame data in the memory;

    a readout unit which successively reads out the frame data and the interpolation frame data from the memory at a frame rate higher than a frame rate of the video data;

    a generating unit which generates image data which is composited with the frame data and stores the image data in the memory; and

    a control unit which controls the interpolating unit to carry out the generation of the interpolation frame data,wherein, if a pixel count of the image data is more than a predetermined threshold value, the control unit controls the interpolating unit to halt the generation of the interpolation frame data and controls the readout unit to read out the frame data in duplicate instead of the interpolation frame data.
