HIGH DEFINITION MATRIX DISPLAY METHOD FOR STANDARD DEFINITION TV SIGNALS

摘要

A method of displaying a standard definition television signal (20 and 30 or 40) on a high definition matrix display (10) includes the steps of receiving (22) the standard definition television signal to provide a received signal, sampling (24) the received signal to provide a sampled digital video signal, and deinterlacing (26) the sampled digital video signal to provide a progressive line signal. The method further includes the steps of doubling (34 or 42) the progressive line signal to provide a predetermined number of active lines of video in a frame and displaying (34 or 46) the predetermined number of active lines of video on the high definition matrix display in a shortened vertical interval.
