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 is based on Zoran’s
extensive experience delivering high quality, high volume video ICs
to major consumer products manufacturers worldwide. Frame-It-1
employs a robust motion detection and an intelligent interpolation
algorithm in a easily implemented, fully synchronous design. 3:2
pulldown, 2:2 pulldown, and bad edit detection enable superior dein-
terlacing of source material orginally 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 eliminat-
ed 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.
VIP-II Demonstration System
The VIP-II is an FPGA demonstration system for Zoran's IP Core
products. The VIP-II accepts composite video, S-video and compo-
nent video inputs and with its user friendly GUI, enables customers
to thoroughly evaluate the performance of Zoran's IP Core products.
