Large-video-display-format conversion

High-quality video-format converters apply motion estimation and motion compensation to prevent jitter resulting from picture-rate conversion, and aliasing due to de-interlacing, in sequences with motion. Although initially considered as too expensive, high-quality conversion is now economically feasible, and since 1995 has been available in consumer television ICs. This paper addresses the issues in format conversion and shows recent progress, introducing a new high-quality video-format-conversion IC for consumer applications
