Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for providing video output phase control in a decoder. In particular, the present invention provides a decoder that precisely aligns output of video display data with a time stamp associated with the video display data and thereby allows for efficient usage of compressed video buffer memory in the decoder. In one embodiment, the decoder includes a video output processor for displaying video data and a timer connected to the video output processor for providing video output phase control. A method is also provided for providing video output phase control in the decoder.
