Patent ID: 7899303

Claim:
A method for transitioning a video system, comprising the steps of: (A) executing in a processing circuit a standby code stored in a nonvolatile memory while said video system is in an off state, said off state defining a low power configuration for said processing circuit and a power off condition for said video system, said standby code being responsive to a plurality of wake up conditions to wake up said video system; (B) storing an application code in a volatile memory while in said off state, said application code configured to operate said video system while in an on state of said video system; (C) transitioning from said off state to said on state upon detection of at least one of said wake up conditions; (D) executing in said processing circuit said application code while in said on state to decode video; and (E) increasing a frequency of a system clock used by said processing circuit before said transitioning.
