Application ID: 14667228

Base Claim:
1. A method for modifying bits of an input pixel data word, comprising: outputting an embedded data packet using an embedded data engine; receiving the input pixel data word and the embedded data packet at decatenation circuitry; separating the input pixel data word into a first fragment of the data word and a second fragment of the data word at the decatenation circuitry, wherein the second fragment of the data word and the embedded data packet have an equal number of bits; modifying the bits of the first fragment of the data word to produce a modified version of the first fragment of the data word using arithmetic circuitry; and producing an output data word comprising the embedded data packet and the modified version of the first fragment of the data word using concatenation circuitry.

Claim 2:
2. The method defined in claim 1 , wherein modifying the bits of the first fragment of the data word comprises: incrementing the bits of the first fragment of the data word when the bits of the embedded data packet are not the same as the bits in the second fragment of the data word.
