摘要:
Systems and methods for generation of time-dependent control signals for video signals are provided. A system is provided that includes a set of microsequencers, a programmable combinational logic (PCL) module, shared memory, an arbiter for sharing of memory by the microsequencers, stacks containing registers for microsequencer control, and a control interface. The system can efficiently provide control signals for video signals, implement the MACROVISION copy protection process, and provide other value added features. The method includes accessing programs from shared memory, such that a set of microsequencers can generate flags. These flags are then processed to generate one or more control signals used to support the outputting of video signals including those requiring MACROVISION copy protection.

A system and method for automatically controlling color synchronization polarity during video decoding. Various aspects of the present invention may comprise at least one module that is adapted to monitor color synchronization polarity at a plurality of instances over a period of time. The at least one module may also, for example, be adapted to generate a sequence of signals indicative of the color synchronization polarity correctness at the plurality of instances. The at least one module may additionally, for example, be adapted to statistically analyze the sequence of signals. The at least one module may further, for example, be adapted to determine, based at least in part on the statistical analysis of the sequence of signals, whether color synchronization polarity is correct. The at least one module may still further, for example, be adapted to control color synchronization polarity based, at least in part, on the polarity correctness determination.

A system and method for determining phase of a subcarrier (e.g., a jittering video subcarrier). Various aspects of the present invention may comprise determining at least one weighting factor based, at least in part, on a subcarrier synchronization signal (e.g., a video synchronization signal). A first subcarrier phase sample and at least a second subcarrier phase sample may then be obtained. Subcarrier phase may then be determined by interpolating between the first subcarrier phase sample and the second subcarrier phase sample, where such interpolation (e.g., linear interpolation) may be based, at least in part, on the determined weighting factor(s).

In a method of automatically identifying a format of a video signal, where the video signal includes HSync pulses, VSync pulses, and video display data, the video signal is received, information about timing and width characteristics of the HSync pulses and the VSync pulses is extracted from the video signal, and the format of the video signal is determined based on the extracted information.

Certain embodiments of the invention disclose a method and system for processing in a non-line locked system. The phase relationship between the sub-carrier signal on consecutive video lines in a video comb filter is determined by synchronizing the two video lines. The synchronization is achieved by aligning the color bursts signals in each of the two video lines. The phase error between the two video lines is determined through the use of a correlation operation. The phase error between consecutive video lines is used to automatically adjust the delay lines used by the video comb filter. The line delay adjustment is provided by changing the values of a variable integer delay and a fractional integer delay. Line delay adjustments reduce the artifacts that occur in the separation of luma and chroma components of a composite video signal.

Systems and methods of processing a video signal are provided. A potential block boundary can be detected between a first block and a second block of a frame of the video signal, wherein the frame, the first block, and the second block each include a plurality of pixels. An offset parameter can be determined for at least one pixel of at least one of the first block and the second block. Based on the offset parameter, a boundary verification value of at least one of the first block and the second block can also be determined. Based on the boundary verification value, it can further be determined if the potential block boundary includes a block boundary.

A system and method for synchronizing sub-carriers in a signal processing system. Various aspects of the present invention may comprise method steps and structure that receive a sampled signal. Various aspects may produce a synchronization signal based on the sampled signal. Various aspects may generate and store a cropped version of the received sampled signal. Various aspects may read a cropped sampled signal from memory that corresponds to the received sampled signal. Various aspects may generate a restored sampled signal by adding samples to the cropped sampled signal read from memory. Various aspects may, based on the synchronization signal, output the restored sampled signal coarsely synchronized to the received sampled signal. Various aspects may determine a phase difference between the output restored sampled signal and the output received subcarrier. Various aspects may adjust the phase of the restored sampled signal in response to the determined phase difference.
