Abstract: A system for converting a digital input signal having a vertical and horizontal dimension into a digital output signal having a different horizontal and vertical dimension than that of the digital input signal. The digital input signal is fed into a first memory which stores the input signal. A horizontal resampling filter is used for converting the horizontal dimension of the digital input signal to the horizontal dimension of the desired output signal. The output from the horizontal resampling filter is transposed so that the vertical dimension of the output signal is oriented in a horizontal orientation. The transposed signal is then stored in a second memory. The transposed signal with the resampled horizontal dimension from the second memory is fed into a vertical resampling filter which converts the vertical dimension information of the transposed signal to the desired format of the output signal.

Abstract: A system and method for converting a first digital input signal having a first sample size per unit length and a first bandwidth to a digital output signal having a second sample size per unit length. The input signal is passed through a first filter means which decimates the signal to a smaller sample size and outputs a decimated signal. A second filter limits that bandwidth of the decimated signal and outputs a bandlimited signal. Next, a third filter interpolates the bandlimited signal to produce a digital output signal having the desired sample size.
