摘要： A method for dynamic contrast improvement ('DCI') of video data includes the steps of analyzing a portion (200) of a video frame, and forcing a start of DCI transfer function computations in response to an end of the analysis of the portion (200) of the video frame.

摘要： A method and a system for performing trick mode features in a personal video recorder without introducing a channel change delay during normal viewing. The method includes the steps of recording a video source signal and concurrently bypassing the video source signal to a display device, without experiencing any buffering delay associated with the recording step. During trick mode operation the bypassing step can be automatically terminated and a recorded version of the video source signal can be substituted and sent to the display. The bypassing step further can include substituting, without any buffering delay, an alternate video source signal in response to a user selection of an alternate video source signal channel. A user notification can be generated to acknowledge receipt of a trick mode command. The user notification can be terminated once the step of substituting the recorded version of the video source signal has been completed.

摘要： An apparatus (10) for performing arbitration increases the fairness of arbitrations, decreases system latency, increases system throughput, and is suitable for use in more complex systems. According to an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus (10) includes a generator (300) for generating a plurality of arbitration numbers corresponding to a plurality of agents (20-50), and circuitry (400) for selecting one of the agents to access a resource shared by the agents based on the arbitration numbers. At least one of the arbitration numbers includes a plurality of fields (210-270) corresponding to a plurality of parameters.
