    摘要: An over-sampled sequence detector operates on sampled data and tracks the detection reliability of the sampled data. The detector separately analyzes sample sequences for different sampling phases and then picks a sample sequence that allows for the most reliable detection. For the different sampling phases, the detector inspects some amount of look-behind and look-ahead information in order to improve upon simple symbol-by-symbol detection. The over-sampled information is used to further improve detection performance.

    摘要: An automatic sampling control system for digital monitors. A clock generation circuit generates a sampling clock. A phase controller modifies the phase of the sampling clock by a phase amount. An ADC samples a frame of an analog display signal to generate digital samples. A value which is a function of the samples is generated. The function generally generates a larger value with correspondingly large sample values. The phase amount is modified for successive image frames until a maximum function value is generated. When successive image frames do not change substantially in image content, the phase amount represents the optimal phase change for the sampling clock. If the image content is changing substantially, the phase adjustment may be disabled.

    摘要: A digital display unit which accurately determines a graphics source mode using which an analog display signal has been generated. Accurate determination of the source mode enables images encoded in the received display signal to be reproduced properly on a digital display screen. Some of the display signal parameters are measured by examining the display signal. The measured parameters are compared with corresponding stored parameters for each stored mode. A match of parameters is deemed to exist if the compared values are within an associated tolerance level. A source mode matching with all matching parameter is selected to process a display signal. The tolerance level is adaptively varied to select a suitable source mode.

    摘要: A graphics controller circuit for upscaling source video image to generate an upscaled video image. The graphics controller circuit generates additional pixel data for the upscaled video image by interpolating source video pixel data of a one scan line and an another scan line. However, when source video pixel data of the another scan line may not be available for interpolation, the graphics controller circuit generates additional pixel data from source video pixel data of only the one scan line. Source video pixel data of the another scan line may not be available, for example, as a bus that transfers the pixel data may not have sufficient amount of bandwidth.

    摘要: A digital display unit adjusting the phase of a sampling clock based on the examination of a display data signal contained in a received analog display signal. The phase may be adjusted by determining a boundary between display data portions representing successive pixel data elements. As the boundaries provide the timing information related to the source clock, the phase of the sampling clock can be adjusted when ever the boundaries can be determined accurately. The phase of the sampling clock can be adjusted potentially every sampling clock cycle if the boundaries can be determined. The area for examination can be minimized by first determining an expected boundary based on synchronization signal accompanying the analog display data, and examining only a small area surrounding the expected boundary.

    摘要: A video controller for controlling at least two video displays having independent refresh rates and pixel resolutions. In a first embodiment, two separate data paths are provided within a video controller for each video display (e.g., CRT and LCD). Taking advantage of the increased bandwidth of 64 bit wide DRAMS, data for each data path may be retrieved in separate read cycles. Each datapath may operate at its own clock frequency characteristic of refresh rate and pixel resolution. The dual data path embodiment also reduces the complexity of the software model needed to drive such dual displays. IN an alternative embodiment, a single data path may be provided within a video controller to drive data for two video displays having independent refresh rates and pixel resolutions. A data "tag" (extra bit) is attached to each word or dword passing through the data path indicating the destination (e.g., CRT or LCD) of the video data. At the output of the data path, separate FIFOs (e.g., LCD and CRT) are provided to temporarily store video data. FIFO pointers are fed back to a sequence controller to drive data read cycles from display memory. The use of tags and FIFO pointer feedback allows two video displays to be driven at different data rates, allowing for independent resolution and refresh rates in each display.

    摘要: A computer system in which the signal parameters of an analog display signal received by a display unit can be determined automatically. A test data having a predetermined format is sent to a display unit. The test data is encoded to enable display unit to measure display signal parameters such as the timing signals (e.g., start position of each horizontal line) accurately. The test data also includes black and white points, which enable the display unit to measure the voltage levels used to represent black and white signals. Display unit can accordingly adjust the manner in which individual points on a display screen are actuated so that the full scale of brightness levels on individual points can be utilized. CRC-based techniques are used to indicate to the display unit the presence of the test data as the same communication path is used to send test data and display data.

    摘要: An apparatus for controlling a flat panel display with reduced flicker, particularly during grey scale shading. Three shading pattern lookup tables are provided, one for each sub-pixel color (Red, Blue, Green). Each shading pattern lookup table outputs a plurality of shading pattern duty cycle signals, each representing a different shade level. The phase of the three duty cycle signal patterns may be altered by adding a predetermined offset amount to one or more of the shading pattern lookup table addresses. By altering the phases of the outputs of the shading lookup tables, peak current demand within the flat panel display may be reduced and flicker or strobing of individual pixels may be reduced or eliminated.
