VIDEO IMPROVEMENT PROCESSOR
First Claim
1. An apparatus for use in a system capable of displaying video images, the apparatus comprising:
- a video input configured to receive a composite video signal, the composite video signal comprising a luminance and a chrominance;
a video processor configured to separate the composite signal into separate luminance and chrominance paths, wherein the video processor is configured to perform video functions on the separate paths individually and combine the separate paths to produce an upgraded video image; and
a video output configured to receive the combined upgraded video image from the video processor and output the upgraded video image to a display.

Abstract
A video device includes a video processor operable to upgrade a video image. The video device is capable of displaying video images. The video device includes a video input configured to receive a composite video signal. The composite video signal includes synchronization information, both vertical and horizontal, a luminance and a chrominance. The video device includes a video processor configured to separate the composite signal into separate paths. The video processor is configured to perform video functions on the separate paths individually and combine the separate paths to produce an upgraded video image. The video device also includes a video output configured to receive the upgraded video imaged from the video processor and output the upgraded video image to a display.
