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/sup 3/ unites the complete processing chain between tuner output (CVBS) and RGB processing. It comprises a perfected motion adaptive algorithm for high quality de-interlacing and up-conversion including a special cinematic source processing, picture-in-picture, split screen and manifold picture manipulation and improvement capabilities are implemented as well as color decoding and all necessary A/D and D/A conversions. All field memories are realized on-chip with YUV4:2:2 color representation up to SVGA resolution. Manufactured in a 0.18 /spl mu/m copper eDRAM technology, the IC meets economical demands with increased functionality.
