  • Patent number: 8400569
    Abstract: Presented herein are system(s), method(s), and apparatus for dynamic blanking. In one embodiment, there is presented a method. The method comprises generating blank lines forming a portion of a larger picture if a picture is not available, until the picture is available; and including the picture in the larger picture when the larger picture is available.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7839454
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for preventing and eliminating undesirable effects in displayed video. The method may include receiving video information and decoding the video information. The method may also include processing the number of illuminable lines associated with a video frame and blanking a remainder of the illuminable lines. Blanking the remainder of the illuminable lines may prevent and eliminate undesirable effects in the displayed video. The illuminable lines may be processed, such that each field may comprise an even number of corresponding, illuminable lines 530. The fields, however, are not required to have the same number of lines. In an embodiment according to the present invention, no active lines in one field may be below a blanked line in a corresponding field.

  • Patent number: 7570270
    Abstract: Methods and systems for processing pixels within a decoded video stream are disclosed. Processed pixels may be received within the decoded video stream and may be buffered in a buffer at a first rate. The buffered received processed pixels may be transferred out of the buffer at a second rate, where the first rate is greater than said second rate. The buffering of the received processed pixels and the transferring of the buffered received processed pixels out of the buffer may be monitored to prevent an overrun of the buffer. The first rate of the buffering of the received processed pixels may be reduced to prevent the overrun of the buffer. The second rate of the transferring of the buffered received processed pixels out of the buffer may be monitored to prevent the overrun of the buffer. Amount of the buffered received processed pixels within the buffer may be determined.
