  • Publication number: 20080250470
    Abstract: A device for reproducing video data signals receives encoded video data signals; and has a processing unit for decoding the encoded video data signals into the video data signals. The encoded video data signals comprises a base stream of signals (801) representing a standard resolution portion of the video data signals and at least one enhancement stream of signals (802) representing a high-resolution portion of the video data signals. The processing unit has a detection unit for detecting a predefined interlacing mode for the base stream of signals, e.g. non-interlaced or specifically interlaced, and adapting the decoding to decode the base stream of signals in dependence of said detected predefined interlacing mode. Advantageously, the decoding may include vertical filtering to reduce line flicker in re-interlaced video based on the detected non-interlace encoded video signals, or may include reshuffling of encoded video signals based on shuffled video for reducing motion judder in re-interlaced video.

  • Publication number: 20080005690
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of enabling to control at least one media data processing device (181-187), the method comprising the steps of:β€”(410) presenting a first set of first items (310, 510) and a second set of second items (330, 550) on a display (120), wherein an arrangement of the first or second items on the display is changeable,β€”(420) presenting on the display an indicator (360) for indicating a predetermined arrangement of a particular one of the first items (340, 515) and a particular one of the second items (350, 555), to form an operation for the at least one device on the basis of a combination of the particular first and second items,β€”(430) enabling a user to select the particular one (340, 515) of the first items and/or the particular one (350, 555) of the second items, andβ€”(450) enabling to form the operation on the basis of the selected first and second items. In one embodiment, two carrousels with the particular first and second items are presented.
