An image processor includes a memory that stores image layers, &#x3b1;-layers associated with the image layers, and pointers linking image areas of the image layers with the &#x3b1;-layer. A method for blending multiple image layers includes obtaining a transparency value for an image area by reading a pointer associated with the image area and blending the image layers using the obtained transparency value.

Image processor

A reproduction system reproduces interlaced video data in a deinterlaced form. The system selects a deinterlacing algorithm used to process the interlaced video data. The deinterlaced video data is sent to a display device. The reproduction system responds to a manual or automated input that selects a deinterlacing algorithm.

System for interlaced video data

A data transfer interface is provided which enables a plurality of data processing devices to access a single data storage drive. The data processing device includes a switch connected to the plurality of data processing devices and the data storage drive. A control device drives the switch so that only one of the data processing devices accesses the data storage drive at a time.

Interface system

A video signal processing system for processing a video data Vand graphic data Dincludes a filter unit, which receives the video data V. The filter unit filters the video data Vto convert the video data Vinto video pictures formatted with a different number of columns and/or lines, and provides a filtered video signal indicative thereof. The filter unit buffers individual pixels and/or lines in a first memory device. A second memory device receives and stores the graphic data Dand the filtered video signal and provides stored signals indicative thereof. A third memory device is connected to the second memory, and stores data received from the second memory device. A mixing unit receives and mixes the stored graphic data and the stored filtered video data to provide a video output signal V.
