Abstract: The invention relates to a method for sampling rate conversion. To solve the object of the invention to provide an efficient method for sampling rate conversion of a digital signal with an improvement of the signal quality, a method for combined sampling rate conversion and gain-controlled filtering of a digital signal is proposed, where an input signal is converted into a filtered output signal, comprising the steps of filtering the input signal with a first polyphase filter yielding a first intermediate signal, filtering the input signal with a second polyphase filter yielding a second intermediate signal, multiplying said second intermediate signal with a gain control signal yielding a third intermediate signal, and adding said third intermediate signal to said first intermediate signal yielding said output signal. The object of the invention is further solved by a device and a computer program product for combined sampling rate conversion and gain-controlled filtering of a digital signal.

Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus for sharpening an edge in a video image. The apparatus comprises: 1) a first circuit for determining a first luminance value of a first pixel associated with the first edge and a second luminance value of a second pixel associated with the first edge, wherein the first and second pixels are adjacent pixels; 2) a second circuit for determining a position of a first subpixel disposed between the first and second pixels, wherein the first subpixel position is disposed approximately at a center of the first edge; 3) a third circuit for increasing a luminance value of a second subpixel disposed on a first side of the first edge center; and 4) a fourth circuit for decreasing a luminance value of a third subpixel disposed on a second side.of the first edge center opposite the first side.
