摘要:
Video luminance data from a video signal is selectably compressed and expanded in a first signal path including a first line memory (356). A second line memory (358) in a parallel signal path processes video chrominance data from the video signal. A control circuit (320) generates respective timing signals for writing data into the line memories and for reading data from the line memories. A timing delay circuit (337) for the control means, has video compression and expansion modes of operation. During the compression mode, reading of the second line memory is delayed relative to writing of the second line memory. During said expansion mode, writing of the first line memory is delayed relative to writing of the second line memory or reading of the second line memory is delayed relative to writing of the second line memory. The duration of the timing delays can be selected from a range of values. The line memories are first in first out (FIFO) devices having independently enabled write and read ports.
摘要:
A video decoder (10) capable of transcoding video data from various input formats to a predetermined output format is disclosed. Input data may be standard definition (NTSC or PAL) data or MPEG compressed data. Standard definition data are rearranged into block format to be compatible with the decoder's (10) single display processor (40). The display processor (40) includes a block-to-line converter (56, 58) and selectively processes and conveys either MPEG format data or non-MPEG format data to a display device. A block based memory (20) stores MPEG and non-MPEG pixel block data. The decoder is capable of receiving and displaying burst and non-continuous transmissions.
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.
