1. A projection system comprising:
- a. a decimation processor comprising at least one input shift register, at least one shadow memory connected to said input shift register, and at least one output shift register connected to said shadow memory;
b. at least one memory cell array for receiving data from said output shift register; and
c. a spatial light modulator for receiving data from said memory cell array.

Abstract
It is possible to replace a standard tuning unit in a television with spatial light modulator circuitry to improve the resolution seen by the viewer. The invention herein provides a system architecture, individual part of the system and techniques for minimizing the burst data rate while maintaining a reasonable system speed. The resultant system provides better resolution with a manageable data rate and bandwidth.

6. A decimation processor comprising:
-
an n-bit wide input bus; an n-bit wide and m-bit deep input register for receiving a block of data from said input bus, said block of data being comprised of m input data words, each input data word being n-bits wide; an n-bit wide and m-bit deep shadow RAM for receiving said block of data from said input register; and an m-bit wide output bus for allowing said block of data to be read out of said shadow RAM in n output words wherein each said output word is m-bits wide and is comprised of one bit from each of said m input words. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
