Pipelining techniques to deinterlace video information are described. Operational states of the slave device and the master device are determined. The upper cladding layer, and in one embodiment also the lower cladding, comprises high boron and phosphorous doped silicon dioxide, suitably doped with greater than about 9% of boron and with about 2. The phase of either a clock signal or a strobe signal is adjusted with reference to the phase of the other signal.
