Abstract
A system and method for converting a pixel rate of a digital image frame is provided. The system includes a display controller with an embedded buffer and programmable input and output buffers. The input buffer writes lines of the frame at a source pixel rate while the output pointer reads out lines of the frame at a display pixel rate thereby allowing display of an image having a source pixel rate that is different, e.g., higher, than a display pixel rate.
