SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR 2-TAP/3-TAP FLICKER FILTERING

摘要

A device (104) performs both 2-tap and 3-tap flicker filtering of non- interlaced lines of computer graphics data to form interlaced lines. The device includes a data packer (202), a data unpacker (204) and a filter circuit (200). The filter circuit (200) combines lines that it receives to form filtered lines. The data packer (202) writes the filtere d lines to line buffers while the data unpacker (204) reads the lines stored in the line buffers. The read lines are either sent to the filter circuit (200) for further filtering or are outputted to be displayed as interlaced lines. Both 2-tap and 3-tap flicker filtering can be accomplished by varying the order and/or number of read, write, and filter operations.
