Abstract :
This paper describes a video up-converter integrated circuit designed for high-quality TV, projection and multimedia displays. The chip uses broadcast quality digital processing techniques such as interpolation and filtering to perform real-time up-conversion of an input digital video stream. The number of frames per second, lines per frame, pixels per line and scan rate of the digital video stream produced by the chip are fully programmable.
