Faroudja Labs was a San Francisco–based IP and research company founded by Yves Faroudja. Faroudja Labs shouldn't be confused with Faroudja Enterprises, Yves Faroudja's latest venture.

Faroudja specialized in video processing algorithms and products. Its technologies for deinterlacing and inverse telecine have received acclaim within the consumer electronics industry and have been widely used in many electronic devices, such as TV sets, set-top boxes, and video processors.

Efforts by Faroudja generated more than 65 patents and provided technology licenses to consumer electronics companies, and helped receive three Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards (one for advanced encoding techniques, a lifetime achievement for Yves Faroudja, and one for HDTV upconversion used in network broadcast applications),^[1][2] as well as numerous other awards.

Since 2007, the Faroudja brand and all associated video processing IPs are part of STMicroelectronics, an international semiconductor company, which now uses the technology in System-on-Chip (SoC) products.
