A New Intra-Frame Solution for HDTV to SDTV Down-Conversion

L. Albani, G.A. Mian, A. Rizzi

In the last years, the High Definition Television (HDTV) technology has been successfully demonstrated and some products are available for video production. Since HDTV is gradually introduced, Standard Definition Television (SDTV) will coexist for a long time. Therefore, standard converters are necessary to interface equipment and systems of different formats. In this paper, a new solution is proposed for the conversion of interlaced video signals from a high resolution format down to a low resolution format, having good performance, low implementation cost and high design flexibility. Such a flexibility can be further exploited for an adaptive implementation.
