DETAILED FUNCTIONALITY
ANALOG FRONT END
• Four high quality 10-bit ADCs enable true 8-bit video
decoder
• 12 analog input channel mux enables multisource
connection without the requirement of an external mux
• Four current and voltage clamp control loops ensure any
dc offsets are removed from the video signal
• SCART functionality and SD RGB overlay on CVBS
controlled by fast blank input
• Four internal antialias filters to remove out-of-band noise
on standard definition input video signals
SDP PIXEL DATA OUTPUT MODES
• 8-bit ITU-R BT.656 4:2:2 YCrCb with embedded time
codes and/or HS, VS, and FIELD
• 16-bit YCrCb with embedded time codes and/or HS, VS,
and FIELD
• 24-bit YCrCb with embedded time codes and/or HS, VS,
and FIELD
CP PIXEL DATA OUTPUT MODES
• Single data rate (SDR) 8-bit 4:2:2 YCrCb for 525i, 625i
• Single data rate (SDR) 16-bit 4:2:2 YCrCb for all standards
• Single data rate (SDR) 24-bit 4:4:4 YCrCb/RGB for all
standards
• Double data rate (DDR) 8-bit 4:2:2 YCrCb for all standards
• Double data rate (DDR) 12-bit 4:4:4 YCrCb/RGB for all
standards
COMPOSITE AND S-VIDEO PROCESSING
• Support for NTSC (J, M, 4.43), PAL (B, D, I, G, H, M, N,
60) and SECAM B/D/G/K/L standards in the form of
CVBS and S-video
• Superadaptive 2D 5-line comb filters for NTSC and PAL
give superior chrominance and luminance separation for
composite video
• Full automatic detection and autoswitching of all
worldwide standards (PAL/NTSC/SECAM)
• Automatic gain control with white peak mode ensures the
video is always processed without loss of the video
processing range
• Adaptive digital line length tracking (ADLLT™)
• Proprietary architecture for locking to weak, noisy, and
unstable sources from VCRs and tuners
• IF filter block compensates for high frequency luma
attenuation due to tuner SAW filter
• Chroma transient improvement (CTI)
• Luminance digital noise reduction (DNR)
• Color controls include hue, brightness, saturation, contrast,
and Cr and Cb offset controls
• Certified Macrovision copy protection detection on
composite and S-video for all worldwide formats
(PAL/NTSC/SECAM)
• 4× oversampling (54 MHz) for CVBS, S-video, and YUV
modes
• Line-locked clock output (LLC)
• Letterbox detection supported
• Free-run output mode provides stable timing when no
video input is present
• Vertical blanking interval data processor
