Abstract

Abstract There has been a rapid increase in the number and variety of video sources that are now available to the consumer. In addition to the traditional broadcast and packaged media sources, consumers now get video from internet sources like YouTube, Google, iTunes, etc., as well as “place‐shifted” video from sources like the SlingBox, etc. These new video sources are often low‐resolution and full of artifacts. However, consumers expect to be able to view all of these types of video on their large‐screen flat‐panel TVs and obtain a consistent high image quality. Achieving this requires a new class of highly adaptive digital video format converters. This paper describes the first member of a new family of ICs that has been designed to meet this need.
