摘要： A video display pipe used for processing pixels of video and/or image frames may include edge Alpha registers for storing edge Alpha values corresponding to the edges of an image to be translated across a display screen. The edge Alpha values may be specified based on the fractional pixel value by which the image is to be moved in the current frame. The video pipe may copy the column and row of pixels that are in the direction of travel, and may apply the edge Alpha values to the copied column and row. The edge Alpha values may control blending of the additional column and row of the translated image with the adjacent pixels in the original frame, providing the effect of the partial pixel movement, simulating a sub-pixel rate of movement.

摘要： A graphics system may include one or more processing units for processing a current display frame, each processing unit including a plurality of parameter registers for storing parameter settings used in processing the current display frame. A parameter buffer in the graphics system may store frame packets, with each frame packet containing information corresponding to parameter settings to be used for at least one display frame. A control circuit coupled to the buffer and to the one or more processing units may retrieve and process a top frame packet from the parameter buffer to update one or more of the parameter registers according to the contents of the top frame packet. The control circuit may issue DMA requests to fill the parameter buffer with frame packets transferred from system memory, where the frame packets may be written by an application (or software) executing on a central processing unit.

摘要： Video display pipes may terminate with a FIFO (first-in first-out) buffer from which pixels are provided to a display controller to display the pixels on a graphics/video display. The display pipes may frequently process the pixels at a much higher rate than at which the display controller fetches the pixels from the FIFO buffer. In an error-checking only mode, the FIFO may be disabled, and an error-checking (e.g. CRC) block connected in front of the FIFO may receive the pixels processed by the display pipes as fast as the display pipes are capable of processing the pixels. Accordingly, the length of test/simulation time required to perform a test may be determined by the rate at which pixels are generated rather than the rate at which the display controller displays the pixels. It also becomes possible to perform testing/simulation in environments where a display is not supported or is not available. The results generated by the error-checking may be read and compared to an expected value to detect test pass/fail conditions.
摘要翻译：视频显示管道可以用FIFO（先进先出）缓冲器终止，从而将像素提供给显示控制器以在图形/视频显示器上显示像素。显示管道可以以比显示控制器从FIFO缓冲器提取像素的速率高得多的速率来频繁地处理像素。在仅错误检查模式中，FIFO可以被禁用，并且连接在FIFO前面的错误校验（例如CRC）块可以像显示管能够处理显示管一样快地接收由显示管处理的像素像素。因此，执行测试所需的测试/模拟时间的长度可以由生成像素的速率而不是显示控制器显示像素的速率来确定。在不支持显示或不可用的环境中也可以进行测试/模拟。可以读取错误检查产生的结果并将其与期望值进行比较，以检测测试通过/失败条件。

摘要： A display pipe unit for processing pixels of video and/or image frames may be injected with dither-noise during processing of the pixels. A random noise generator implemented using Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSRs) produces pseudo-random numbers that are injected into the display pipe as dither-noise. Typically, such LFSRs shift freely during operation and the values of the LFSRs are used as needed. By shifting the LFSRs when the values are used to inject noise into newly received data, and not shifting the LFSRs when no new data is received, variations in the delays of receiving the data do not affect the pattern of noise applied to the frames. Therefore, dither-noise can be deterministically injected into the display pipe during testing/debug operation. By updating the LFSRs when new pixel data is available from the host interface instead of updating the LFSRs every cycle, the same dither-noise can be injected for the same received data.
摘要翻译：用于处理视频和/或图像帧的像素的显示管单元可以在处理像素期间被注入抖动噪声。使用线性反馈移位寄存器（LFSR）实现的随机噪声发生器产生作为抖动噪声注入显示管道的伪随机数。通常，这样的LFSR在操作期间自由移动，并且根据需要使用LFSR的值。当使用这些值将噪声注入到新接收到的数据中时，通过移位LFSR，并且在没有接收到新数据时不移动LFSR，接收数据的延迟的变化不影响施加到帧的噪声模式。因此，在测试/调试操作期间，可以将抖动噪声确定性地注入显示管道。当从主机接口获得新像素数据而不是每个周期更新LFSR时，通过更新LFSR，可以为相同的接收数据注入相同的抖动噪声。

摘要： In an embodiment, a display pipe includes one or more translation units corresponding to images that the display pipe is reading for display. Each translation unit may be configured to prefetch translations ahead of the image data fetches, which may prevent translation misses in the display pipe (at least in most cases). The translation units may maintain translations in first-in, first-out (FIFO) fashion, and the display pipe fetch hardware may inform the translation unit when a given translation or translation is no longer needed. The translation unit may invalidate the identified translations and prefetch additional translation for virtual pages that are contiguous with the most recently prefetched virtual page.

摘要： A display pipe may include fetch circuitry and a scaler unit, and registers programmable with information that defines active regions of an image frame. Pixels within the active regions are active pixels to be displayed, pixels outside of the active regions are inactive pixels not to be displayed. The fetch circuitry may retrieve frames from memory, retrieving the active pixels and not retrieving the inactive pixels as defined by the programmed contents of the registers. A scaler unit may produce scaled pixels from the fetched pixels, basing each scaled pixel on a respective corresponding set of pixels. When a given pixel of the respective corresponding set of pixels is an inactive pixel, the scaler unit may assign an estimated value to the given pixel based on one or more active pixels in the respective corresponding set of pixels. The scaler unit may provide the scaled pixels to a blend unit for blending with other pixels.

摘要： A display pipe may include a video pipe outputting pixels of a video stream in a first color space, e.g. YCbCr color space. The display pipe may also include a first color space converter to convert the output pixels to a second color space, e.g. to RGB color space, producing a conversion output in which some of the converted output pixels have values that are invalid pixel values in the second color space. The display pipe may also include a blend unit that performs blending operations in the second color space on the converted output pixels to produce a blended conversion output that includes blended pixels in the second color space. A second color space converter in the display pipe may convert the blended pixels from the second color space to the first color space, and correctly display the converted blended pixels on a display screen.
