Patent ID: 7015925

Claim:
A method for producing video signals using a video output system, the video output system being communicatively coupled by electrical communication paths to a video graphics processor, a video signal input system, and a storage medium for storing data in electrical form, the method comprising: receiving a video signal in a receiver of the video output system; post-processing the received video signal through a video pipeline of the vide output system, producing a post-processed video signal, wherein the video pipeline is configured to perform following functions: region of interest selection; frame rate matching; spatial adaptation; changing the sample rate of the video signal being post processed; gamma removal; gamma insertion; color space conversion; changing frames of video data into interleaved fields of video data and addressing on a frame by frame basis the video signal being post processed; and converting the post-processed video signal, the converting means producing a formatted video signal, wherein video output system is configured to receive the received video signal from the storage medium, the video graphics processor, and the video input system.
