Abstract

Presented herein is a system and method for a line address computer for providing line addresses in multiple contexts for interlaced to progressive conversion. A feeder fetches a first line from a top field, fetches a first line from a bottom field corresponding to the top field, after fetching the first line from the top field, and fetches a second line from the top field after fetching the first line from the bottom field. The second line from the top field is adjacent to the first line in the top field.

Claims (10)

1. A system for displaying frames, said system comprising:

a first memory for storing a top field;

a second memory for storing a bottom field, the bottom field being associated with the top field; and

a feeder for fetching a first line from the top field, fetching a first line from a bottom field corresponding to the top field after fetching the first line from the top field, and fetching a second line from the top field after fetching the first line from the bottom field, the second line from the top field being adjacent to the first line in the top field, said feeder further comprising:

a line address computer for calculating a starting address for a row of luma pixels and calculating a starting address for a row of chroma pixels.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the line address computer calculates a starting address for another row of chroma pixels, wherein the another row of chroma pixels is adjacent to the row of chroma pixels.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the pixel feeder further comprises a chroma filter for interpolating a chroma line from the row of chroma pixels and the another row of chroma pixels.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the line address computer calculates a starting address for a row of luma pixels, calculates a starting address for a row of chroma pixels, and calculates a starting address for another row of chroma pixels.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the chroma filter interpolates a chroma row from the row of chroma pixels and the another row of chroma pixels.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the line address computer calculates a starting address for a row of luma pixels, calculates a starting address for a row of chroma pixels, calculates a starting address for another row of chroma pixels, wherein the another row of chroma pixels is adjacent to the row of chroma pixels, and wherein the line address computer interpolates a chroma row from the row of chroma pixels and the another row of chroma pixels.
