A video processing system may receive a first frame comprising pixel data for a first 3-D view of an image, which may be referred to as first 3-D view pixel data, and receive a second frame comprising pixel data for a second 3-D view of the image, which may be referred to as second 3-D view pixel data. The system may generate a multi-view frame comprising the first 3-D view pixel data and the second 3-D view pixel data. The system may make a decision for performing processing of the image, wherein the decision is generated based on one or both of the first 3-D view pixel data and/or the second 3-D view pixel data. The system may process the 3-D multi-view frame based on the decision. The image processing operation may comprise, for example, deinterlacing, filtering, and cadence processing such as 3:2 pulldown.

A method and system are provided in which a video processor may select a 2D video output format or a 3D video output format. The video processor may generate composited video data by combining video data from a video source, and one or both of video data from additional video sources and graphics data from graphics source(s). The video processor may select the order in which such combination is to occur. The video data from the various video sources may comprise one or both of 2D video data and 3D video data. The graphics data from the graphics sources may comprise one or both of 2D graphics data and 3D graphics data. The video processor may perform 2D-to-3D and/or 3D-to-2D format conversion when appropriate to generate the composited video data in accordance with the selected output video format.

A method and system are provided in which a video feeder may receive video data from multiple sources. The video data from one or more of those sources may comprise three-dimensional (3D) video data. The video data from each source may be stored in corresponding different areas in memory during a capture time for a single picture. Each of the different areas in memory may correspond to a different window of multiple windows in an output video picture. The video data from each source may be stored in memory in a 2D format or in a 3D format, based on a format of the output video picture. When a 3D format is to be used, left-eye and right-eye information may be stored in different portions of memory. The video data may be read from memory to a single buffer during a feed time for a single picture.

A method and system are provided in which an integrated circuit (IC) comprises multiple devices that may be selectively interconnected to route and process 3D video data. The IC may be operable to determine whether to scale the 3D video data before the 3D video data is captured to memory or after the captured 3D video data is retrieved from memory, and selectively interconnect one or more of the devices based on the determination. The selective interconnection may be based on input and output formats of the 3D video data, and on a scaling factor. The input format may be a left-and-right (L/R) format or an over-and-under (O/U) format. Similarly, the output format may be a L/R format or an O/U format. The selective interconnection may be based on input and output pixel rates of the 3D video data. Moreover, the selective interconnection may be determined on a picture-by-picture basis.

Aspects of a method and system for handling multiple 3-D video formats are provided. A video processing system may receive one or more video frames comprising first 3-D view pixel data and second 3-D view pixel data suitable for generating a three-dimensional (3-D) video frame. The video system may be operable to determine an arrangement of the first 3-D view pixel data and the second view pixel data in the one or more video frames. In instances that the determined arrangement is not a desired arrangement, the video processing system may be operable to convert the one or more video frames to the desired arrangement. Either or both of the determined arrangement and the desired arrangement may comprise a series of two single-view frames. Either or both of the determined arrangement and the desired arrangement may comprise a single frame comprising the first 3-D view pixel data and the second 3-D view pixel data.
