A video adapter for use in multimedia computer data processing system is disclosed. The video adapter is able to perform real time video resizing, such as video downscaling and upscaling, during compression and decompression playback within the multimedia computer data processing system. The data processing system typically includes a central processing unit, an input/output bus, and a memory controller for controlling a system memory and a level 2 cache for sending or storing data from the video adapter. The video adapter includes a bus enable logic, coupled to both the video decoder, video encoder, and field memory, that performs the video upscaling and downscaling. The bus enable logic also allows a video pass-through to allow compression and decompression of full resolution images without the need for upscaling or downscaling. The bus enable logic includes a clocked buffer, coupled to a U clock signal, a first enable gate, coupled in parallel to the clock buffer for passing either a U or V component of the digital video signal, and a second enable gate, coupled to a Y component of the digital video signal. The second enable gate is enabled by a Y enable signal and the bus enable log operates such that the Y component is active for two consecutive clock cycles and the U and V components alternate for the next two consecutive clock cycles such that in a given cycle period, two Y components are passed while one U and one V component are passed.

The present invention describes an integrated text and data processing system allowing processing of link data before output. The system also provides simultaneous dual emulation of a display and printer normally associated with a host data processor. In accordance with the first aspect of the invention, an input/output terminal includes a support logic circuit for interconnecting the input/output terminal to a port of an intermediate control unit attached to a central processing unit. The input/output terminal includes separate link and display buffers whereas link data may be stored in the link buffer for processing before output to the display associated with a text processor. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the input/output terminal may include a plurality of support logic circuits each connected to one of the ports of one or more control units associated with one or more central processing units. This structure allows the text processor in the input/output terminal to simultaneously yet independently emulate a display and printer normally associated with a host central processing unit.
