20090268086 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SCALING, FILTERING, SCAN CONVERSION, PANORAMIC SCALING, YC ADJUSTMENT, AND COLOR CONVERSION IN A DISPLAY CONTROLLER - Techniques for performing panoramic scaling are disclosed that reduce visible distortion in a panoramic image. Further, techniques for performing combined YC adjustment and color conversion are disclosed that reduce the size and power requirements of video manipulation hardware by reducing the number of logic gates and memory buffers required when YC adjustment and color conversion are implemented as separate operations. | 10-29-2009 |
20090003451 | SHARED PIPELINE ARCHITECTURE FOR MOTION VECTOR PREDICTION AND RESIDUAL DECODING - A shared pipeline architecture is provided for H.264 motion vector prediction and residual decoding, and intra prediction for CABAC and CALVC entropy in Main Profile and High Profile for standard and high definition applications. All motion vector predictions and residual decoding of I-type, P-type, and B-type pictures are completed through the shared pipeline. The architecture enables better performance and uses less memory than conventional architectures. The architecture can be completely implemented in hardware as a system-on-chip or chip set using, for example, field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology or application specific integrated circuitry (ASIC) or other custom-built logic. | 01-01-2009 |
20080313357 | MULTIPLE CHANNEL DATA BUS CONTROL FOR VIDEO PROCESSING - A method, apparatus, computer medium, and other embodiments for selectably enabling a plurality of data transfer modes along one or more channels are described. In one embodiment, data transfer between a first device and a second device is controlled based on selecting a combination of access and operation modes. In another embodiment, a video processing system capable of selectably enabling a plurality of data transfer modes along one or more channels is described. | 12-18-2008 |
20080309817 | COMBINED SCALING, FILTERING, AND SCAN CONVERSION - Techniques for performing combined scaling, filtering, and/or scan conversion are disclosed that reduce the amount of line buffer space required in the overall design of a video processing system. In particular, coefficients from all or a sub-set of the scaling, filtering (smoothing/sharpening), and scan conversion filters are combined into one representative coefficient that can be applied in a single generic algorithm. Thus, implementation costs are reduced, particularly in a system-on-chip implementations. | 12-18-2008 |
20080222332 | COMBINED ENGINE FOR VIDEO AND GRAPHICS PROCESSING - The system includes an arbiter, a combined engine, a frame buffer, and a display processing unit. The arbiter provides three input channels: a first channel for graphics, a second channel for video and a third channel for processor. The arbiter performs prioritization and arbitration between the video and graphics and processor requests sent to the system. The arbiter has three output ports coupled to the combined engine. The combined engine is a hardware engine capable of processing either video data or graphics data. The output of the combined engine is provided to the frame buffer for the storage of pixel data. The output of the frame buffer is coupled to a display processing unit that renders the pixel data for display. | 09-11-2008 |
