Abstract: As a digitized representation of an intermediate frequency television signal moves through a demodulator it undergoes a number of processes, including conversion from an analog signal to a digitized data, digital signal processing of the digitized data, and the like. The rate at which the digitized data moves through the digital signal processor of the demodulator for processing is referred to as the data rate of the DSP. The demodulator can vary the data rate based on a selected television channel, thereby reducing the level of interference at the demodulator resulting from noise.

Abstract: A method for measuring motion at a horizontal and vertical position between video fields of opposite parity comprising the steps of measuring the signal values of at least two vertically adjacent pixels from a video field of one parity and at least two vertically adjacent pixels from a video field of the opposite parity such that when taken together, the pixels represent contiguous samples of an image at said horizontal and vertical position, and determining whether the signal value of any of the pixels lies between the signal values of adjacent pixels in the field of opposite parity and in response outputting a zero motion value, otherwise, outputting a motion value equal to the lowest absolute difference between any of the pixels and its closest adjacent pixel in the field of opposite parity.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing the appearance of moiré in a digitally resized image wherein each input pixel value is mapped to a new value by means of a first correction function prior to being resized. At the output of the resizing engine, each pixel in the resized image is mapped to a further new value by means of a second correction function prior to being displayed. The second correction function is chosen such that the intensity of light output from the display device is substantially proportional to the value of the signal from the resizing engine, taking into account the combined transfer functions of the second correction means and the physical display device (i.e. the second correction function is substantially the inverse of the display transfer characteristic). The first correction function is chosen to be substantially the inverse of the second function, resulting in the effect of reducing moiré that would otherwise appear in the presence of high spatial frequencies, while leaving the overall DC transfer characteristic unaffected.

Analog processing includes using coarse filtering with pass bands that are wide enough to accommodate frequency shifts in a desired television channel signal and analog circuitry variability and digital processing includes tracking a carrier frequency of the desired television channel signal to generate and apply a frequency shift feedback signal to compensate for frequency shifts in the carrier frequency.

Abstract: To achieve the foregoing, and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, an apparatus and method for generating refined sub-pixel vectors for motion estimation from vector correlation values and converged vector correlation values using quadratic approximations respectively is disclosed. The apparatus and method includes defining a minimum vector position value of a converged vector and then determining a predetermined number of vector correlation samples around the minimum vector position value. The predetermined number of vector correlation samples provide a coarse correlation surface estimation of the minimum vector position value. A correlation surface fitting of the predetermined number of vector correlation samples using a quadratic approximation of the coarse correlation surface estimation of the minimum value is then performed. The correlation surface fitting resulting in a refined sub-pixel minimum vector position with horizontal and vertical components.

Abstract: Reducing fast motion artifacts in an LCD panel by receiving a video stream at a first frame rate which is then downsampled to a second frame rate. The downsampled video stream is then upsampled to a third frame rate and a voltage is applied to a pixel element such that the pixel element transitions from a first pixel value to a predetermined second pixel value within a period of time consistent with the third frame rate.
