Abstract
A parallel scaler unit for simultaneously scaling multiple pixels from a source image. The scaler unit includes multiple vertical scalers and multiple horizontal scalers. A column of pixels from the source image is presented to the vertical scalers, and each vertical scaler selects appropriate pixels from the column of pixels for scaling. Each vertical scaler scales the selected pixels in a vertical direction and then conveys the vertically scaled pixels to a corresponding horizontal scaler. Each horizontal scaler scales the received pixels in a horizontal direction.
