[Deinterlace-discuss] Modify DScaler

[Victor L. <vi...@aa...>]

Hi,
We are evaluating DScaler for one of our product. I am in the process of
trying to understand the implementation of DScaler.

We are using connexant's CX23883 on our project. The DScaler works very well
for us except the downside of crashing the existing driver. Once the DScaler
runs, other software can not access the display anymore(Black screen) unless
the connexant driver is reinstalled.

We want to fix this for our project, and the following is the possible ways
to fix it that I can think of. Can you suggest the feasibility of the
thoughts?

1. Find out what component in DScaler changed the kernal part of the Cx2388X
driver. Modify it and Prevent it to crash the original driver even if we may
loose some display qualities. Try to have DScaler running the way it is now.

2. Change the driver interface in DScaler for the DScaler to work with
Connexant driver.

3. Add the driver interface needed by DScaler in the Connexant driver for
the DScaler to work. (We should be able to sign NDA with connexant for the
driver source.)

I need to have some results in a month. I would say the method #1 is
preferred. Can anyone give me some suggestion? Or maybe some hints of how to
implement?

By the way, I am still waiting for the following link to work. Can anyone
help on this?
