Digital television system
First Claim
1. A digital television system, comprising:
- circuitry operable to divide a line of input video signals into a plurality of channels for each input video signal;
circuitry responsive to said dividing circuitry and operable to simultaneously process said channels of input video signals; and
at least one spatial light modulator responsive to said processing circuitry and operable to display said processed input video signals, wherein said modulator displays said processed input video signals by controlling individual elements of an array on said modulator.

Abstract
A digital television system (10) is provided. System (10) may receive a video signal at composite video interface and separation circuit (16). The video signal is separated into separate video signals by composite video interface and separation circuit (16). The separate video signals are converted to digital video signals in analog to digital converter circuit (18). Line slicer (14) divides each line of digital video signal into a plurality of channels such that each channel may be processed in parallel by channel signal processors (22a) through (22d). Each channel signal processor (22a) through (22d) may provide two lines of output for each line of video input. The processed digital video signals may be formatted for displays (26a) through (26c) in formatters (24a) through (24c).

26. A method for creating a high definition video display from a standard video signal, comprising the steps of:
-
separating a standard composite video signal into a plurality of video signals; sampling the separated video signals to create digital video signals; dividing said digital video signals into a plurality of channels; processing the plurality of channels of digital video signals in parallel; and displaying the processed digital video signals as a high definition display, by using processed data from said plurality of channels to control individual elements of a spatial light modulator array. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
