  • Patent number: 7227584
    Abstract: A video signal processing system for processing a video data VIN and graphic data D?P includes a filter unit, which receives the video data VIN. The filter unit filters the video data VIN to convert the video data VIN into video pictures formatted with a different number of columns and/or lines, and provides a filtered video signal indicative thereof. The filter unit buffers individual pixels and/or lines in a first memory device. A second memory device receives and stores the graphic data D?P and the filtered video signal and provides stored signals indicative thereof. A third memory device is connected to the second memory, and stores data received from the second memory device. A mixing unit receives and mixes the stored graphic data and the stored filtered video data to provide a video output signal VOUT.

  • Publication number: 20020158879
    Abstract: A graphic output unit receives and processes an input signal to provide an image on a display in response to the input signal. The graphic output unit includes a bit stream decoder, a graphic controller, a graphic chip and an interface controller. The interface controller receives the input signal and provides a received signal indicative thereof, and determines the type of data within the input signal. If said input signal includes compressed data the interface controller routes the received signal to the bit stream decoder which decompresses the compressed data within said received signal and provides uncompressed pixel graphic data to the graphic chip. If the input signal includes pixel graphic data the interface controlled routes the received signal to the graphic chip.
