Abstract: A device includes a memory configured to store video data. The device also includes a video decoder coupled to the memory and to a cache. The video decoder is configured to decode an input frame of the video data to generate a first video frame and includes an inline downscaler configured to generate a second video frame corresponding to the first video frame downscaled for display output.

Abstract: Example techniques are described for image processing to selectively perform a warping operation if there is change in orientation of a display device between frames. For example, if there is change in orientation of a display device between processing a first frame and after rendering of a second frame, processing circuitry may perform a warp operation on the second frame to warp image content of the second frame based on a current orientation of the display device. If there is no change in orientation of the display device between processing a third frame and after rendering of a fourth frame, the processing circuitry may bypass the warp operation on the fourth frame to avoid warping entire image content of the fourth frame.
