Abstract
A palette for converting video data encoded in multiple YUV and RGB formats into a configuration suitable for transmission to a display and a multimedia system incorporating the same. The palette selectively converts video data encoded into a five bit luminance component for each of four successive pixel elements, a first five bit chrominance component for the four successive pixel elements and a second five bit chrominance component for the four successive pixel elements into a eight bit red, green and blue components for the pixel elements, converts video data encoded in an eight bit luminance component for each of two successive pixel elements and first and second eight bit luminance components for the two successive pixel elements into eight bit red, green and blue components for the pixel element, converts video data encoded in four data bits for a pixel element into six bit red, green and blue components for the pixel element and converts video data encoded in multiple RGB mode, including 555, 565 and 888 modes, into eight bit red, green and blue components.
