摘要： A communication system including a transmitter, a receiver, and a serial link, in which encoded data (e.g., video, audio, and optionally also other auxiliary data) are transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver. The serial link can but need not be a TMDS or TMDS-like link. In typical embodiments, packets of encoded audio data are transmitted over each of one or more channels of the link during data islands between bursts of encoded video data, a pixel clock is transmitted over the link, and the receiver regenerates a clock for the audio data using time code data in the packets and the pixel clock. Other aspects of the invention are transmitters for transmitting encoded data and a pixel clock over a serial link, receivers for receiving such data and pixel clock and performing audio clock regeneration, and methods for transmitting encoded data and a pixel clock over a serial link and performing clock regeneration using the transmitted data and pixel clock.

摘要： An image processor is provided which rasterizes polygons with a minimum of computation. Pixels are tested for being inside a triangle by sorting the vertices by their values in one coordinate, rounding the vertices to the nearest pixels, and calculating two characteristic functions for pixels one scan line at a time, thereby identifying two end pixels for the scan line, where the particular functions used are edge characteristic functions for the two edges which bound pixels in the scan line within the triangle defined by the rounded vertices. To avoid ambiguity, pixels on one end of a scan line are deemed outside the triangle if they are exactly on the edge. Alternatively, only one function per pixel is used, the edge function for the nearest edge. The rasterization process is extensible to polygons of more than three sides, by taking into account that only two sides of the polygon need to be considered for a given scan line, and thus only two characteristic functions are needed at any one time. Using just the fractional part of an edge's intersection with a scan line to detect whether a pixel is inside or outside is also possible. Where a characteristic function is used, the value of the function can be used as an anti-aliasing value, which would be a measure of how much of the pixel lies inside the triangle.
摘要翻译：提供了一种图像处理器，其以最小的计算来对多边形进行光栅化。通过将顶点排列在一个坐标中的值，将顶点四舍五入到最近的像素，并计算一次一个扫描线的像素的两个特征函数，从而确定扫描线的两个终点像素，其中所使用的特定功能是边界特征函数，用于限定由圆角顶点限定的三角形内的扫描线中的像素的两个边缘。为了避免歧义，如果扫描线的一端的像素正好位于边缘，则视为三角形之外的像素。或者，每个像素只使用一个函数，最边缘的边缘函数。通过考虑到给定扫描线仅考虑多边形的两侧，因此在任何一个时间只需要两个特征函数，光栅化过程可以扩展到三面多边形的多边形。仅使用与扫描线的边缘交点的小数部分来检测像素是在内部还是外部也是可能的。在使用特征函数的情况下，该函数的值可以用作抗锯齿值，它将是三角形内部多少像素的量度。

摘要： A method for rendering a three dimensional graphic object in a two dimensional display space by segmenting the object into parallelepipeds and decomposing the parallelepipeds into rods of voxels that are parallel to the depth axis (Z) of the display and by projecting the rods of voxels onto the X-Y plane of the display as lines of pixels and a method for drawing antialiased volumetric images. An apparatus for implementing both methods includes an interpolator, having a set-up unit and an iterator unit, and a blender. The set-up unit determines various parameters of the image to be drawn, including the total number of voxels to be blended together into each pixel to be drawn, and selects a pixel pair adjacent to and straddling an idealized line representing a line to be drawn. The iterator unit determines the coverages of the pixel pair based on parameters output by the set-up unit. The blender determines the color intensity values of the pixel pair as a function of the coverages, and the opacity of voxels in the voxel rod corresponding to each pixel, and writes the color values into a memory that drives the display. The memory is split into at least four banks so that color values of the pair of pixel can be simultaneously stored in different memory banks. A method for resolving accumulation error in the derivation of each pixel's position and a method for accommodating for the effect of additional intersected pixels may be used in connection with the above-described methods.

摘要： A circuit and method for a display controller especially adapted for display memories organized in arrays. The invention permits high speed modification of the contents of a display by generating the address signals of a selected linear pattern as the data block to be modified is retrieved from the display memory. For vectors, the addresses are generated in the same time as required for data block retrieval. The invention also permits calculation of the addresses of simple curves as the data block to be modified is retrieved, though calculation times typically are longer than for vectors. Modified Breshenham's algorithm is used for the address calculation.

摘要： A method and system is provided for rendering bicubic surfaces of an object on a computer system. Each bicubic surface is defined by sixteen control points and bounded by four boundary curves, each corresponding to an edge, and each boundary curve is formed by boundary box of line segments formed between four of the control points. The method and system of include transforming only the control points of the surface given a view of the object, rather than points across the entire bicubic surface, and using the four boundary edges for purposes of subdivision. Next, a pair of orthogonal boundary curves to process is selected. After the boundary curves have been selected, each of the curves is iteratively subdivided and the pair of orthogonal internal curves, wherein two new curves are generated with each subdivision. The subdivision of each of the curves is terminated when the curves satisfy a flatness threshold expressed in screen coordinates, whereby the number of computations required to render the object is minimized.
