Abstract: A system, apparatus, method and article to switch between video display modes are described. The apparatus may include a graphics device to switch between a progressive mode and an interlaced mode to display media information using a single pixel clock frequency for both modes. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for video motion compensation, power of two reduction and color format conversion is disclosed. The motion compensation engine performs the MPEG-2 functions of half pel compensation, inverse discrete cosine transform and merge. Dual prime, field-based and frame-based macroblocks are supported. Data reduction may be performed in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, or both.

Abstract: Techniques to switch between video display modes are described. An apparatus may include a graphics device to generate first synchronized timing signals with a first phase differential to indicate a first display mode for first display data, and to generate second synchronized timing signals with a second phase differential to indicate a second display mode for second display data. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: An apparatus which switches between video display modes, including a display panel having multiple display pixels formed in a matrix; a display controller coupled to the display panel and including a detector to detect a phase differential between received timing signals and output a synchronous determination signal, and a control signal generator coupled to the detector, the control signal generator to generate a first set of control signals corresponding to a first driving mode or a second set of control signals corresponding to a second driving mode in accordance with the synchronous determination signal, the first set of control signals to cause the display panel to display images in accordance with the first driving mode using a first set of selected display pixels, and the second set of control signals to cause the display panel to display images in accordance with the second driving mode using a second set of selected display pixels, with the second set having a number of selected display pixels differ

Abstract: A display control system for a portable computer drives, from a single frame buffer, both a built-in flat panel (LCD type) display as well as a separate external CRT display or an NTSC/PAL television monitor. Either identical or different images may be displayed simultaneously on the CRT display or television and on the flat panel display. Independent clocking is provided to each display to enable this simultaneous display of different images as well as simultaneously display of identical images. The display control system is suitable for use with a wide variety of CRT displays and flat panel displays by means of internal programmable controls.
