摘要： Motion video may be imported into a personal or portable computer through an I/O port having a limited data bandwidth, such as a PCMCIA interface. Motion video data is compressed by sub-sampling both luminance and chrominance difference data for different sized groups of pixels. The compression apparatus may be formed on a PCMCIA card which interfaces with a personal or portable computer. Motion video data, compressed by as much as 5:1 or 6:1, is transferred through the PCMCIA card to a host computer. The host computer may serialize the compressed data and store the data in serialized compressed format in a video memory of a video controller. The video controller is provided with decompression circuitry to decompress the motion video data into luminance and chrominance difference data. The luminance and chrominance difference data is converted into RGB data and displayed in a video display.

摘要： A computer video controller, particularly a VGA or SVGA video controller for use with graphical user interface (GUI) software such as WINDOWS.TM. or OS/2.TM. is provided with two video data pipelines for simultaneously displaying full motion video within a window in a video display. A first data pipeline displays background video at a first pixel depth. A second data pipeline is provided to display a motion video window at a second, usually higher, pixel depth. The location of the motion video window is measured horizontally in number of memory fetch cycles needed to retrieve the horizontal scan line of pixel data abutting the motion video window. The width of the motion video window is measured in the number of memory fetches required to retrieve one scan line of the motion video window. By providing two parallel data pipelines having equal delays, the motion video window can be generated by selectively retrieving background pixel data or motion video window pixel data and transferring the data to the appropriate pipeline. In an alternative embodiment, data tags may be used to distinguished between background and motion video window pixel data. The controller may also support various compression formats for motion video.

摘要： A display controller in a computer system controls the asynchronous output of graphics display data in a computer system having at least one fixed resolution flat panel display. Fixed panel displays may have problems displaying non-native resolutions particularly at lower resolutions. The controller of the present invention uses a time base converter, horizontal and vertical Discrete Time Oscillators (DTO), and polyphase interpolator, which may be Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT)-based to expand graphics display data asynchronously from native resolution to at least one resolution suitable for display on a fixed resolution panel. Graphics data may also be output asynchronously to a CRT. Time base converter receives frequency related input parameters and generates at least one asynchronous output at the desired output resolution.

摘要： A television system (TV) which enables a user to view display represented by a television signal as well as to access data network applications. The TV includes an on-screen-display (OSD) controller which stores the network application data and other display entities in a memory module as separate bit maps. A single image for display on a TV display screen is generated by overlaying all the display entities (including television signal, network application data, pointer, and low resolution data) according to a predetermined priority. Display entities (other than TV signal) are stored in separate portions of the memory module as independent surfaces to enable the displays of individual display entities to be generated and modified according to the individual display entity requirements.

摘要： A memory controller for controlling accesses to a memory storing display entities including network application data displayed on a display screen of a television system. For performing a display screen refresh operation, the network application data is retrieved with a predetermined period. Accordingly, the memory controller determines an expected time for receiving the next request for retrieving the network application data for screen refresh. The memory controller blocks any lower priority memory access requests from a few clock cycles prior to the determined expected time. As a result, the requests for retrieving network application data can be serviced in an acceptable time.

摘要： A television system (TV) with an interlaced display screen for displaying network application data. Pixel data elements representing network application data display are received in a non-interlaced mode. The received data is filtered to reduce sharp transitions in the display. The filtered data is provided in an interlaced format (i.e., only alternate lines of a frame) for display on the television display screen. The interlaced image display is combined with the television signal display by selecting one of them on point by point basis. Flicker is reduced substantially in the final display of network application data due to the filtering.

摘要： A VGA compatible graphics controller receives character data, attribute data and font data, each of which are stored in different planes of a display memory. The font data comprises bit maps of at least two character fonts, which may be user fonts or default fonts loaded from a controller BIOS. The video controller detects attempts by a host CPU to write data into plane two of display memory (where character font bit maps reside). The address generated by the host CPU is scrambled to produce a video font cache address. The character font bit maps are stored in a video font cache at the scrambled address. The font select bits of the CPU generated address are used as a byte select to store a particular font at a byte location at a selected video font cache address. In the preferred embodiment, eight fonts may be stored in the video font cache, one scan line each font of each character as a different byte at each address of the video font cache in a 64 bit wide DRAM.
