Abstract:
An apparatus for adjusting the timing of the display of frames in a first raster display having an interlaced display mode and a non-interlaced display mode, said apparatus comprising:processing logic that detects a refresh cycle event in the first raster display operating in one of said interlaced display mode and said non-interlaced display mode;processing logic that receives information indicative of a secondary timing event, said information being received from an external timing reference;processing logic that compares a time of occurrence of said refresh cycle event with said information indicative of said secondary timing event;processing logic that activates an alternate one of said interlaced display mode and said non-interlaced display mode in said first raster display to synchronize the display of frames in said first raster display in reference to said secondary timing event; andthe external timing reference based on a refresh cycle event in a second raster disply having interlaced display mode and not said non-interlaced display mode.
