Variable burst amplitude, etc.
During reset (RESET_N = LOW) and after reset is released, all digital I/O stages are set
to input mode and the encoder is set to PAL mode and outputs a ‘black burst’ signal on
CVBS and S-video outputs, while RGB outputs are set to their lowest output voltages.
A reset forces the I
2
C-bus interface to abort any running bus transfer.
7.1 Versatile fader
Important note: whenever the fader is activated with the SYMP bit set to a logic 1
(enabling the detection of embedded Start of Active Video (SAV) and End of Active Video
(EAV)), codes 00h and FFh are not allowed within the actual video data (as prescribed by
ITU-R BT.656
). If SAV (00h) has been detected, the fader automatically passes 100% of
the respective signal until SAV is detected.
Within the digital video encoder, two data streams can be faded against each other; these
data streams can be input to the double speed MPEG port, which is able to separate two
independent 27 MHz data streams MP
A
and MP
B
via a cross switch controlled by EDGE1
and EDGE2.
7.1.1 Configuration examples
Figure 4 to Figure 7 show examples on how to configure the fader between the input ports
and the outputs, separated into the composite (and S-video) encoder and the RGB
encoder.
7.1.1.1 Configuration 1
Input MP
A
can be faded into MP
B
. The resulting output of the fader is then encoded
simultaneously to composite (and S-video) and RGB output (RGBIN = ENCIN = 1). In this
example, either MP
A
or MP
B
could be an overlay (menu) signal to be faded smoothly in
and out.

7.1.1.2 Configuration 2
Input MP
A
can be faded into MP
B
. The resulting output of the fader is then encoded to
RGB output, while the signal coming from MP
B
is fed directly to composite (and S-video)
output (RGBIN = 1, ENCIN = 0). Also in this example, either MP
A
or MP
B
could be an
overlay (menu) signal to be faded smoothly in and out, whereas the overlay appears only
in the RGB output connected to the TV set.
7.1.1.3 Configuration 3
Input MP
B
is passed directly to the RGB output, assuming e.g. it contains video including
overlay. MP
A
is equivalently passed through the inactive fader to the composite (and
S-video) output, assuming e.g. it contains video excluding overlay (RGBIN = 0,
ENCIN = 1).

Only MP

input is in use; its signal is both composite (and S-video) and RGB encoded
(RGBIN = ENCIN = 0).
7.1.2 Parameters of the fader
Basically, there are three independent fade factors available, allowing for the equation:
Output = (FADEx × In1) + [(1 FADEx) × In2]
Where x = 1, 2 or 3.
Factor FADE1 is effective, when a color in the data stream fed to the MPEG port fader
input is recognized as being between KEY1L and KEY1U. That means, the color is not
identified by a single numeric value, but an upper and lower threshold in a 24-bit YUV
color space can be defined. FADE1 = 00h results in 100 % signal at the MPEG port fader
input and 0 % signal at the fader video port input. Variation of 63 steps is possible up to
FADE1 = 3Fh, resulting in 0 % signal at the MPEG port fader input and 100 % signal at
the fader video port input.
Factor FADE2 is effective, when a color in the data stream fed to the MPEG port fader
input is recognized as being between KEY2L and KEY2U. FADE2 is to be seen in
conjunction with a color that is defined by a 24-bit internal Color Look-Up Table (CLUT).
FADE2 = 00h results in 100 % of the internally defined LUT color and 0 % signal at the
fader video port input. Variation of 63 steps is possible up to FADE2 = 3Fh, resulting in
0 % of the internally defined LUT color and 100 % signal at the fader video port input.
Finally, factor FADE3 is effective, when a color in the data stream fed to the MPEG port
fader input is recognized as neither being between KEY1L and KEY1U nor being between
KEY2L and KEY2H. FADE3 = 00h results in 100 % signal at the MPEG port fader input
and 0 % signal at the fader video port input. Variation of 63 steps is possible up to
FADE3 = 3Fh, resulting in 0 % signal at the MPEG port fader input and 100 % signal at
the fader video port input.
Optionally, all upper and lower thresholds can be ignored, enabling to fade signals only
against the LUT color.
If bit CFADM is set HIGH, all data at the MPEG port fader are faded against the LUT color,
if bit CFADV is set HIGH, all data at the video port fader are faded against the LUT color.
