Abstract: In some contexts, DACs fail in such a way that specific samples are dropped. For example in flat-panel video displays, one of the pixel LEDs can malfunction and get permanently set to a particular value. We refer to this as the ``missing pixel'' problem. Under certain conditions, it may be possible to compensate for the dropped sample by pre-processing the digital signal. This paper describes a number of such compensation strategies. Each strategy is analyzed and results from numerical simulations are presented. Of particular interest is the relationship between compensation and the class of discrete prolate spheroidal sequences.
