Abstract: A method is provided that includes selecting, by a hardware module, a current parameter set from one or more parameter sets; reading, by the hardware module, a watermark graphic from a location in memory indicated by a parameter in the current parameter set, wherein access to the location in memory is restricted to the hardware module and one or more first trusted applications; blending, by the hardware module, the watermark graphic with a frame of video content; and providing, by the hardware module, the blended frame to a video output.

Abstract: In a method of automatically identifying a format of a video signal, where the video signal includes HSync pulses, VSync pulses, and video display data, the video signal is received, information about timing and width characteristics of the HSync pulses and the VSync pulses is extracted from the video signal, and the format of the video signal is determined based on the extracted information.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method for performing CRC analysis in a video test bench. An exemplary system includes a memory configured for storing a required number representative of the data fields to be analyzed. A module is coupled at least indirectly to the memory and configured for (i) receiving an input data stream, (ii) performing cyclic redundancy check (CRC) analysis of the received data stream, and (iii) producing an output representative of an actual number of received data fields analyzed. The input data stream includes synchronization markers defining boundaries of each of the received data fields. Next, a comparator is configured for (i) comparing the required number and the actual number and (ii) producing a disabling signal when the actual number matches the required number.
