Portable DVD player
First Claim
1. A portable DVD player comprising:
- a generally thin prismatic enclosure having a first major surface, a second major surface separated from said first major surface, and side surfaces connecting said first major surface to said second major surface, wherein at least a portion of said first major surface includes a flat panel video display, and wherein said enclosure includes a DVD entry port such that a DVD can be inserted into said enclosure; and
a digital processing system including a decoder, a deinterlacer, and a display controller where said decoder receives signals from a DVD inserted into said enclosure and reconstitutes compressed data on the DVD to provide a decoded, interlaced video signal, said deinterlacer converts said interlaced video signal to a deinterlaced video signal, and said display controller uses said deinterlaced video signal to provide progressively scanned video on said video display.

Abstract
A portable DVD player includes a generally thin prismatic enclosure having a first major surface, a second major surface separated from the first major surface, and side surfaces connecting the first major surface to the second major surface. At least a portion of the first major surface includes a video display. The enclosure further includes a DVD entry port such that a DVD can be inserted into the enclosure. A digital processing system within the enclosure includes a decoder, a deinterlacer, and a display controller. The decoder receives signals from a DVD inserted into the enclosure to provide a decoded, interlaced video signal, the deinterlacer converts the interlaced video signal to a deinterlaced video signal, and the display controller uses the deinterlaced video signal to provide progressively scanned video on the video display. Preferably, the portable DVD player is both mechanically and electronically isolated for physical shocks to the player.

24. A portable DVD player comprising:
-
a tablet form-factor enclosure having a first major surface, a second major surface separated from the first major surface and side surfaces connecting the first major surface to the second major surface, wherein at least a portion of the first major surface includes a video display, and wherein the enclosure includes a DVD entry port such that a DVD can be inserted into the enclosure; and a digital video processing system, contained in the tablet form-factor enclosure, includes a video data buffer, an audio/video decoder, a deinterlacer, a display controller and a video encoder, wherein the video data buffer is receptive to an interlaced video signal from a DVD inserted into the tablet form-factor enclosure and operative to develop a buffered interlaced video signal, and wherein the audio/video decoder is responsive to the buffered interlaced video signal and operative to develop a decoded interlaced video signal, and wherein the deinterlacer is responsive to the decoded interlaced video signal and operative to develop a deinterlaced video signal, and wherein the display controller is responsive to the deinterlaced video signal and operative to develop a progressive scan video signal to be displayed on the video display, and wherein the video encoder is responsive to the decoded interlaced video signal and operative to develop a composite video signal and an S-video signal such that the composite video signal or the S-video signal can be sent to an external video display. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27)
