Abstract: A noise processing device and its method are provided for a video/audio system having a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI). The noise processing device includes a detecting unit, a signal generating unit, and a decision unit. The noise processing method includes using the detecting unit to monitor a variation related to an audio signal and generate a detecting signal accordingly; using the signal generating unit to produce an adjustment signal according to the detecting signal; and using the decision unit to produce an output audio signal according to the audio signal and the adjustment signal. Another embodiment of the noise processing device includes a compensation tracking unit having a control unit. The compensation tracking unit produces an output audio signal according to a difference between the output audio signal itself and the audio signal and a gain of the control unit.

Abstract: A method for converting a frame rate of a video signal comprising a data enable signal by means of a first buffer and a second buffer is disclosed. The method comprises: alternatively accessing the first buffer and the second buffer according to a first frame rate; determining an accessing time point of the first and the second buffers according to the data enable signal; and accessing the buffer, which is one of the first and the second buffers and not accessed at the accessing time point, according to a second frame rate, wherein the second frame rate is faster than the first frame rate.

Abstract: A chip with an adjustable pinout function is disclosed. The chip includes a first pinout, a second pinout, a logic circuit, and a selecting circuit. The logic circuit includes a first port and a second port. The selecting circuit, which is coupled to the logic circuit, the first pinout, and the second pinout, controls the first pinout to be coupled to the first port or the second port, and controls the second pinout to be coupled to the first port or the second port.

Abstract: A data recovery system and method is disclosed, which comprises an oversampler, a phase detection circuit, a data pick circuit, a data overlap/skip detection circuit and a data correction circuit. The oversampler oversamples an input signal and thus generates oversampled signals. The phase detection circuit receives for detecting transitions of the oversampled signals and outputting a phase signal. The data pick circuit receives the phase signal, accordingly groups the oversampled signals into n groups and picks one group as an output data. The data overlap/skip detection circuit determines if data is overlapped or skipped according to the phase signal and the last phase signal. The data correction circuit corrects data when data is overlapped or skipped and outputs an accurate output data.

Abstract: A method for controlling an LCD to display an image. The method includes receiving a display data flow, generating a polarity signal, generating a gray-scale signal according to the polarity signal and the display data flow, and driving a pixel unit to display image according to the gray-scale signal. The polarity signal is substantially DC-balanced. A display utilizing such method may reduce the influence of flicker phenomenon.
