Abstract
Digital video signal processor scales in spatial and temporal domains. Linear, time-varying filter provides variable-size scaling of progressive and interlace-scan formats. Temporally, frame-rate conversion is accomplished using motion compensation. Vertical line-doubling and de-interlacing is achieved with line-based motion estimation. Bilinear interpolation provides low filtering distortion; other linear and spline functions are implemented using equivalent control functionality and arithmetic datapaths.
