Abstract

Split-frame post-processing techniques are used in a programmable video post processing engine. A frame of video data is divided into a processing region and a control region that contain either different portions of the frame or copies of a portion of the frame. Post-processing operations are performed for the processing region but not for the control region. The processing and control regions are then displayed simultaneously on the same display device (e.g., side by side), facilitating visual comparisons of images with and without post-processing.
