Abstract: Forming a plurality of pipeline orderings, each pipeline ordering comprising one of a sequential, a parallel, or a sequential and parallel combination of a plurality of stages of a pipeline, analyzing the plurality of pipeline orderings to determine a total power of each of the orderings, and selecting one of the plurality of pipeline orderings based on the determined total power of each of the plurality of pipeline orderings.

Abstract: A projector and a system comprising a projector and a handheld device are described. In a preferred embodiment, a projector for projecting an image includes a back section and a front section. The back section has a bottom surface for resting on a supporting surface, and the front section has an optical window for projecting light indicative of the image. The front section is tilted with respect to the bottom surface of the back section to define a tilt angle. The system includes a video-output generating handheld device, and a display device controlled by control signals generated by the handheld device. The handheld device and the display device are interconnected with no more than one physical video signal connection.

Abstract: Method and system for fine tuning frequency and phase of a sampling clock of analog signals (R, G, B) having digital information, for sampling the analog signals within an optimal sampling period, enabling optimal display by a digital display device (92). Small amount of information from input signals is required for rapidly and accurately determining values of frequency and phase of the sampling clock. After measuring using a measurement system (96) and obtaining pixel values while sweeping phase values of signals using a phase locked loop (PLL) mechanism (48), there is determining values of two parameters, (i) error of an initial frequency value of the sampling clock (Rx clock), proportional to error of an initial phase locked loop (PLL) division factor value, and (ii) phase of the sampling clock, without need for making additional measurements based on these values, using a control unit (94).

Abstract: An integrated video processing circuit (VPC) and method for providing a displayed visual user interface for the display, selection and setup of video input sources on a shared display. A VPC processes video from two or more video input sources, where some subset of the two or more video input sources receive video from a respective device. The VPC creates on the display a visual user interface consisting of live or interval-updated video providing simultaneously (e.g., in a mosaic of windows) a visual indication of the status of some or all of the video input sources. The VPC allows for the easy selection and setup of the respective devices via the user interface on the display and an input device (e.g., a remote control device).

Abstract: A method of electronic Keystone correction for electronic devices having visual displays which exhibit optical distortion on the display screen. The corrective method is based on computation and electronic (physical) manipulation of the pixels of a visual display screen grid, and features the principle steps of: 1) characterization of the size of an input image, 2) determination of the number of generated pixels in the output image, 3) determination of the real position of each pixel in the output image by performing an electronic distortion to the input image opposite to the optical distortion of the input image, 4) interpolation of the output value of all color components of each pixel of the input image, 5) correction of (non-uniform) edge effects at both ends of each line of pixels, 6) transmission of the output corrected image to the electronic display device, individually, pixel by pixel, or as complete set of corrected pixels of the image, and 7) display of the perfected corrected optical image.
