ABSTRACT:
A television receiver with an MPEG decoder is configurable for full high definition decoding and display, or reduced cost lower definition display. The MPEG decoder (10-33) uses a controllable dual-mode data reduction network selectively employing horizontal detail reduction (29) and data re-compression (30) between the decoder and the decoder frame memory (20) from which image information to be displayed (27) is derived. The amount of data reduction is manufacturer selected in accordance with the resolution of the display device, e.g., equal to or less than high definition resolution. The frame memory size is also manufacturer selected in accordance with the resolution of the display device.
