The controller includes: a decoding circuit receiving a first-format signal and decoding at least a part of this signal to find out the type of a control signal relating to the first-format signal; and a conversion control circuit generating a selecting signal according to the type of the control signal to choose one of the mapping circuits. The mapping circuits receive the first-format signal and selecting signal, and the selected mapping circuit converts the first-format signal into a second-format signal according to the selecting signal. The output control circuit is coupled to the mapping circuits and outputs at least a part of the second-format signal as an effective output signal. The storage circuit temporarily stores the effective output signal and then outputs it.

Abstract: Techniques for processing video data are described. In an example, a device receives input video data having a first resolution. A first processor of the device sends, based at least in part on the input video data, first video data having the first resolution to a display. The device generates second video data from the input video data by at least down scaling the input video data to a second resolution, the second resolution being lower than the first resolution. A second processor of the device determines, while the first video data is presented, a property of the input video data based at least in part on the second video data. The second processor generates an indication of the property, where the indication is output while the first video data is presented.
