Unified system for progressive and interlaced video transmission
First Claim
1. A system that transmits and displays interlaced and progressive format input video, said system comprising:
- a scalar for downscaling a progressive frame;
a compression engine for compressing the downscaled progressive frame;
a decompression engine for decompressing the downscaled compressed progressive frame;
an interlacer and a downscalar for interlacing and downscaling the decompressed downscaled compressed progressive frames if the input video is to be displayed in interlaced format; and
a scalar for upconverting the decompressed downscaled compressed progressive frames for display in progressive format if the input video is to be displayed in progressive format.

Abstract
A system and method that support both progressive and interlaced format video transmission and display. The system utilizes de-interlacing techniques to convert input interlaced format video to progressive format video, and compress and vertically scale the progressive format video to communicate videos more efficiently in a progressive format. The system also supports interlaced and progressive displays, where after decompressing and vertically rescaling the communicated compressed progressive format video, the video may be converted to interlaced format if the display supports interlaced format video. The system is capable of dynamically switching between the progressive and the interlaced format modes.

15. A system that receives interlaced and progressive format input video, wherein the received video is vertically scaled down and is in progressive format, the system comprising at least one first element that decompresses and vertically scales the received compressed video, said system comprising:
-
an input for receiving a downscaled compressed progressive frame; a decompression engine for decompressing the downscaled compressed progressive frame; an interlacer and a downscalar for interlacing and downscaling the decompressed downscaled compressed progressive frames if the input video is to be displayed in interlaced format; and a scalar for upconverting the decompressed downscaled compressed progressive frames for display in progressive format if the input video is to be displayed in progressive format. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
