Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for displaying pictures at high speed. In one embodiment, a system includes a buffer for storing parameters associated with a predetermined number of the pictures during a video display period. The system further includes a video decoder for decoding particular ones of the predetermined number of the pictures. The predetermined ones are either reference pictures or pictures that are to be displayed at high speed. The pictures that are displayed in high speed at each display interval have a constant time-lapse between the pictures that are displayed in high speed at the next display interval.

Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for slow motion and high speed for digital video. In one embodiment, there is presented a method for displaying pictures. The method comprises displaying a top field from a particular picture, for a predetermined number of consecutive vertical synchronization pulses; and displaying a bottom field from the particular picture for the predetermined number of consecutive vertical synchronization pulses.

Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods for pause and freeze functions for digital video streams. A particular picture is displayed for a plurality of video display periods. A next picture is displayed at the video display period immediately following the plurality of video display periods, the next picture immediately following the particular picture in a display order. A system clock reference is loaded with a time stamp associated with the next picture when displaying the next picture.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for providing display parameters from the decode process to the display process are presented herein. The decode process receives images which are encoded according to a predetermined standard. Included with the encoded images are parameters which facilitate the decode and display processes. The decode process decodes the encoded images as well as the parameters and stores each image in a separate image buffer. Additionally, the decode process stores the parameters which facilitate the display process in a buffer descriptor structure associated with the image buffer. The display process uses the parameters stored in the buffer descriptor structure during the display process.
