New large displays are replacing the traditional Cathode Ray Tube. An important goal is to improve the quality of TV images to suit these displays. To achieve this goal, we use an interpolation process that convolutes the TV signal. In particular, a C-type fluency sampling function reported by produces high-quality interpolated images. However, the convolution processes with the C-type kernel requires large-scale hardware and a long delay. Therefore, we need develop a simple hardware implementation method for the interpolation based on the C-type function convolution of the TV signal. A hardware implementation method for the interpolation that can reduce the hardware and timing costs is described. The results that our method can reduce such costs and improve the image quality.
