摘要: An inline scaling unit configured to retime an input video frame is disclosed. The scaling unit is configured to receive pixels within a line of a video frame to be displayed on a primary display that is within a first clock domain. The scaling unit down-scales the group of pixels and writes the down-scaled pixels to a buffer circuit in the first clock domain. The scaling unit includes a control circuit configured to generate horizontal and vertical control signals for the retimed video frame to be displayed on a secondary display that is within a second clock domain. The horizontal and vertical control signals are then used to enable reading from the buffer circuit in the second clock domain. The scaling unit outputs the down-scaled pixels and the generated control signals within the retimed video frame such that input video frame and the retimed video frame may be displayed concurrently.

摘要: A display pipe unit for processing pixels of video and/or image frames may be injected with dither-noise during processing of the pixels. A random noise generator implemented using Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSRs) produces pseudo-random numbers that are injected into the display pipe as dither-noise. Typically, such LFSRs shift freely during operation and the values of the LFSRs are used as needed. By shifting the LFSRs when the values are used to inject noise into newly received data, and not shifting the LFSRs when no new data is received, variations in the delays of receiving the data do not affect the pattern of noise applied to the frames. Therefore, dither-noise can be deterministically injected into the display pipe during testing/debug operation. By updating the LFSRs when new pixel data is available from the host interface instead of updating the LFSRs every cycle, the same dither-noise can be injected for the same received data.

摘要: A video display pipe used for processing pixels of video and/or image frames may include edge Alpha registers for storing edge Alpha values corresponding to the edges of an image to be translated across a display screen. The edge Alpha values may be specified based on the fractional pixel value by which the image is to be moved in the current frame. The video pipe may copy the column and row of pixels that are in the direction of travel, and may apply the edge Alpha values to the copied column and row. The edge Alpha values may control blending of the additional column and row of the translated image with the adjacent pixels in the original frame, providing the effect of the partial pixel movement, simulating a sub-pixel rate of movement.

摘要: A display pipe may include fetch circuitry and a scaler unit, and registers programmable with information that defines active regions of an image frame. Pixels within the active regions are active pixels to be displayed, pixels outside of the active regions are inactive pixels not to be displayed. The fetch circuitry may retrieve frames from memory, retrieving the active pixels and not retrieving the inactive pixels as defined by the programmed contents of the registers. A scaler unit may produce scaled pixels from the fetched pixels, basing each scaled pixel on a respective corresponding set of pixels. When a given pixel of the respective corresponding set of pixels is an inactive pixel, the scaler unit may assign an estimated value to the given pixel based on one or more active pixels in the respective corresponding set of pixels. The scaler unit may provide the scaled pixels to a blend unit for blending with other pixels.

摘要: A blend unit in a display pipe for processing pixels of video and/or image frames may include multiple blend stages, where each blend stage may include multiple levels for blending pixels according to a blend equation. The blending operation includes blending pixel color values and Alpha values. A multiplication may be performed at each blend level, necessitating Alpha value normalizations in the form of divisions to obtain pixel color values having a specified bit-length. Color value normalizations are not needed when the desired result is an actual color value. In order to reduce the compounding of errors that may result from the introduction of an error at each division, Alpha value normalizations may not be performed at each blend level, carrying the intermediate results forward in fractional form—through one or multiple blend stages—until the end of the blending operation. At or after the final blend level—in each blend stage, or in a final blend stage—a single division may performed, preventing the compounding of errors that would be incurred at each blend level if a division at each blend level were performed.

摘要: Video display pipes may terminate with a FIFO (first-in first-out) buffer from which pixels are provided to a display controller to display the pixels on a graphics/video display. The display pipes may frequently process the pixels at a much higher rate than at which the display controller fetches the pixels from the FIFO buffer. In an error-checking only mode, the FIFO may be disabled, and an error-checking (e.g. CRC) block connected in front of the FIFO may receive the pixels processed by the display pipes as fast as the display pipes are capable of processing the pixels. Accordingly, the length of test/simulation time required to perform a test may be determined by the rate at which pixels are generated rather than the rate at which the display controller displays the pixels. It also becomes possible to perform testing/simulation in environments where a display is not supported or is not available. The results generated by the error-checking may be read and compared to an expected value to detect test pass/fail conditions.
