(54) | Playback device, computer program and playback method |
(57) A playback device judges whether a connected display device is equipped to display
only interlaced video or both interlaced and progressive video. If equipped to display
both interlaced and progressive video, a mode setting unit 15 sets an operation mode
of the playback device to an image quality mode for interlaced signal output or a
continuity mode for progressive signal output, according to a user selection received
via a GUI. If continuity mode is set, the playback device decodes the video stream
and performs progressive signal output.
