blending for that corresponding video pixel)

Ability to resize from VGA to NTSC/PAL (640x480 to 720x576) for both the OSD and video windows

Horizontal rescaling x1.5 is supported

Support for a rectangular cursor window and a programmable background color selection.

The width, height, and color of the cursor is selectable

The display priority is: Rectangular-Cursor > OSDWIN1 > OSDWIN0 > VIDWIN1 > VIDWIN0 > background color

Support for attenuation of the YCbCr values for the REC601 standard.

The following restrictions exist in the OSD module.

If the vertical resize filter is enabled for either of the video windows, the maximum horizontal window dimension cannot be greater than 720 currently. This is due to the limitation in the size of the line memory.

It is not possible to use both of the CLUT ROMs at the same time. However, a window can use RAM while another uses ROM.
