Abstract:
1. A method for seamless transition between interlaced and progressive video profiles, the method comprising: receiving a stream of video signals, at a video feeder, for displaying on a single display device, the stream of video signals including an interlaced stream consisting of segments of interlaced fields or a progressive stream consisting of progressive video frames; during the interlaced stream, directing the interlaced fields to a deinterlacer, and directing an output of the deinterlacer to the display device, the output of the deinterlacer being determined based on previously received interlaced fields from the video feeder; during a transition of the stream of video signals from the interlaced stream to the progressive stream that corresponds to an end of an interlaced segment and a start of a progressive segment, achieving seamless transition by directing the progressive video frames to a frame store and directing the output of the deinterlacer to the single display device; and during a progressive stream, directing the progressive video frames to the frame store, and directing previously stored frames from the frame store to the single display device.
