System-on-silicon solution for high quality consumer video processing-the next generation

This paper presents the next generation of a highly integrated low cost single-chip video processing system-on-chip with outstanding feature content and performance. The IC unifies the complete processing chain between tuner output (CVBS) and RGB processing. It comprises an improved motion adaptive algorithm for high quality de-interlacing and up-conversion including a special cinematic source processing. Implemented are picture-in-picture, split screen and manifold picture manipulation and improvement capabilities as well as color decoding and all necessary A/D and D/A conversions. All field memories are realized on-chip and store a picture in 4:2:2 format up to SVGA resolution. The IC meets economical demands with increased functionality.
