摘要:
An MPEG decoder (14, 18, 22) in a high definition television receiver decodes and decompresses MPEG coded data to produce decompressed image pixel blocks, and includes a motion compensation network (90...) coupled to a frame memory (60) to produce finally decoded pixel data for display. The decompressed MPEG data is recompressed by plural parallel recompressors (40, 42) prior to storage in frame memory. Each recompressor receives a datastream of interleaved pixel data (24, 27, Fig. 5), and predicts and compresses interleaved pixel values (a, c) during each clock cycle, respectively (Fig. 20, 27). One of the recompressors (42) is de-energized in a reduced data processing mode when pixel data is subsampled (36, 38) prior to recompression. Subsampled data is re-ordered (43) prior to recompression. Multiple parallel decompressors (80, 82, 84) coupled to the frame memory provide pixel data to the motion processing network. A control unit (356, 360, 364, Fig. 23) insures an uninterrupted interleaved data flow to the decompressors by repeating last valid data when source data is interrupted.
摘要:
A television receiver includes an MPEG decoder/decompressor (62-66) for providing decoded/decompressed pixel blocks. Decoded/decompressed pixels are recompressed prior to storage in frame memory (14). In the recompression process a reference first pixel is compressed as a function of a pixel block parameter. A reconstructed reference pixel value is used in a prediction network when reconstructing remaining pixels of the pixel block prior to display. A first pixel processor accurately compresses a reference pixel which prevents the propagation of a prediction error throughout the reconstructed block.
摘要:
Compression and decompression apparatus and methods for producing fixed-length compressed data blocks with variable-length compression are described. The compression system receives and N-bit word from a data block (60) and determines the variable compression length for the word (62). A bit counter keeps track of the number of bits remaining (64) and determines if sufficient bits have been used to ensure that the fixed-length compressed data block will be filled (66). If so, the compressed word is output (70). If not, prior to output the compressed word is padded with an appropriate number of bits (68), which may be null bits.
摘要:
A video display system, comprises a video display having a first format display ratio. A picture height circuit (1010) determines an active picture height from an input video signal having a second format display ratio. A detector circuit (1030) identifies letterbox formats responsive to the active picture height in the signal and determines a format display ratio of the letterbox picture. A zoom circuit (1032) is operable in a first mode for enlarging the picture in size to fill the display substantially entirely, and operable in a second mode for enlarging the picture in size to substantially fill the display vertically. A vertical pan circuit (1034) centers the picture. The detector can identify the format display ratio of the letterbox format picture. A deflection system (50) is controllable in vertical size by a variable vertical scan rate, in horizontal size by variable horizontal expansion and compression, and in pan position by varying the vertical reset in phase.
