Frame-It-1

Video Deinterlacer

Frame-It-1 is based on Zoran’s extensive experience delivering high quality, high volume video ICs to major consumer products manufacturers worldwide. Frame-It-1 employs robust motion detection and an intelligent interpolation algorithm in an easily implemented, fully synchronous design.
 

Overview

Zoran’s Frame-It-1 Video Deinterlacer is a silicon-efficient, high-performance Intellectual Property Core for video IC designs requiring progressive video output. Frame-It-1’s 3:2 pulldown, 2:2 pulldown and bad edit detection enable superior deinterlacing of source material originally from film.

Proven in silicon, the Frame-It-1 Video Deinterlacer greatly reduces the risk and time involved when integrating the video deinterlacing function into an IC. Expensive, discrete components can be eliminated from system designs. Frame-It-1 is designed into Zoran’s Vaddis™ family of DVD decoders, which are in mass production and are used in brand name consumer products worldwide.
