In an embodiment, a host computing device includes an internal display and also includes a connector to connect to an external display. A cable is provided to connect to the connector and to connect to the external display. The cable includes video processing capabilities. For example, the cable may include a memory configured to store a frame buffer. The frame buffer may store a frame of video data for further processing by the video processing device in the cable. The video processing device may manipulate the frame in a variety of ways, e.g. scaling, rotating, gamma correction, dither correction, etc.

A parallel scaler unit for simultaneously scaling multiple pixels from a source image. The scaler unit includes multiple vertical scalers and multiple horizontal scalers. A column of pixels from the source image is presented to the vertical scalers, and each vertical scaler selects appropriate pixels from the column of pixels for scaling. Each vertical scaler scales the selected pixels in a vertical direction and then conveys the vertically scaled pixels to a corresponding horizontal scaler. Each horizontal scaler scales the received pixels in a horizontal direction.

Techniques are disclosed relating to additive color systems. In one embodiment, an apparatus is disclosed that includes a device configured to operate on pixel data having color component values falling within an extended range outside of 0.0 to 1.0 corresponding to an extended range color space. In one embodiment, a gamma correction function is disclosed that can be applied to the pixel data, where the gamma correction function is applicable to both negative and positive values. Various embodiments of formats for arranging pixel data are also disclosed.

A dither unit with a programmable kernel matrix in which each indexed location/entry may store one or more dither values. Each dither value in a respective entry of the kernel matrix may correspond to the number of bits that are truncated during dithering. During dithering of each pixel of an image, entries in the kernel matrix may be indexed according to the relative coordinates of the pixel within the image. A dither value for the pixel may be selected from the indexed entry based on the truncated least significant bits of the pixel component value. When the kernel matrix is storing more than one dither value per entry, the dither value may be selected based further on the number of truncated least significant bits. A dithered pixel component value may then be generated according to the dither value and the remaining most significant bits of the pixel component value.

A circuit for data stream buffer management, lane alignment, and clock compensation of data transfers across a clock boundary using a single first in first out (FIFO) buffer in each serial channel is described. The RapidIO® data channel, for example, operates using a clock recovered from the data stream. The RapidIO® data stream has embedded special characters, where a select sequence of embedded characters is a clock compensation pattern. A look ahead circuit is used to detect the clock compensation pattern early and generate a clock compensation indicator signal. The FIFO writes data and the associated clock compensation indicator signal in a clock compensation indicator bit in synchronism with the recovered clock. A read circuit using a second clock of a different frequency than the first clock reads data and clock compensation bits from the FIFO and generates an almost empty signal when appropriate. A multiplexer is used at the FIFO output to pad data to the system interface. A clock compensation control circuit generates a selection signal based on an AND of the almost empty signal and the clock compensation indicator bit associated with a data element read out of the FIFO and using the selection signal to control the multiplexer selection signal.

Apparatus, system, and method for detecting AC-coupled electrical loads of a set of digital-to-analog converters are described. In one embodiment, a processing apparatus includes a digital-to-analog converter. The processing apparatus also includes a pulse generation module connected to the digital-to-analog converter, and the pulse generation module is configured to direct the digital-to-analog converter to transmit a pulse of electrical energy. The processing apparatus further includes a load detection module connected to the digital-to-analog converter, and the load detection module is configured to determine a connection status of the digital-to-analog converter based on a degree to which the pulse of electrical energy is reflected during a transient response time period.
