Main path
The main path is used when no special converter can be used, the code
is designed as a destination line pull architecture. That is for each
- output line the vertical scaler pulls lines from a ring buffer that
- when the line is unavailable pulls it from the horizontal scaler and
- input converter of the current slice.
- When no more output can be generated as lines from a next slice would
- be needed then all remaining lines in the current slice are converted
- and horizontally scaled and put in the ring buffer.
+ output line the vertical scaler pulls lines from a ring buffer. When
+ the ring buffer does not contain the wanted line then it is pulled from
+ the input slice through the input converter and horizontal scaler, and
+ the result is also stored in the ring buffer to serve future vertical
+ scaler requests.
+ When no more output can be generated because lines from a future slice
+ would be needed, then all remaining lines in the current slice are
+ converted, horizontally scaled and put in the ring buffer.
[this is done for luma and chroma, each with possibly different numbers
of lines per picture]
