Driving the Digital Lifestyle Scaler-1 IP Core DVD Video Scaler IP Core Zoran Corporation 1390 Kifer Road Sunnyvale, CA 94086-5305 Product Brief Mobile Digital TV Imaging IP Cores Te l 408.523.6500 Fax 408.523.6501 www.zoran.com Benfits Overview Zoran's Scaler-1 is a silicon efficient, cost effective intellectual property core for IC designs requiring the video scaling function. The Scaler-1 Video Scaler IP Core is a programmable up/down scaler designed to scale between various TV and display resolutions. Scale-1 has two modes, upscale mode and downscale mode. In either mode the horizontal and vertical scaling ratios can be programmed independently. Features • Downscaling – Input image filtered by programmable anti-alias filter – Able to downscale from 1080i or 720p input to 480p ,720p, 640x480 or other custom input and output format sizes – Downscaling ratios of 1x to 8x or more – Able to scale images of maximum input size 4096 x 2048 • Text and activity detectors allow for precise scaling of feature details while preserving text sharpness • Upscaling – 2-D luma input image gradient used interpolate along edges and slopes – Able to scale from 480p input to 720p, 1080i, 800x600, 1024x768 or other custom input and output format sizes – Anamorphic scaling mode provides smart upscaling from 4:3 aspect ratio to 16:9 aspect ratio – Programmable scaling ratio of 1x to 4x or greater – Maximum image output size of 2048x2048 • Eight (8) 1920 byte external line buffers required • Approximately 170,000 NAND gate equivalents Integrated Circuit Applications • LCD Display Processors • Digital TVs • Set-top boxes • DVD recorders • A/V Receivers • Any IC requiring the video scaling function Deliverables • • • • Synthesizable RTL code (Verilog) Bit accurate C model Synopsis synthesis scripts Test bench with suite of test cases © Copyright 2005 Zoran Corporation.
