Video decoder
l
Six analog inputs, internal analog source selectors, e.g. 6 X CVBS or (2 X Y/C and 2 X CVBS) or (1 X
Y/C and 4 X CVBS)
l
Two analog preprocessing channels in differential CMOS style inclusive built
l
Fully programmable static gain or Automatic Gain Control (AGC) for the selected CVBS or Y/C channel
l
Automatic Clamp Control (ACC) for CVBS, Y and C
l
Switchable white peak control
l
Two 9-bit video CMOS Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs), digitized CVBS or Y/C signals are
available on the expansion port
l
On-chip line-locked clock generation according "ITU 601"
l
Digital PLL for synchronization and clock generation from all standards and non
e.g. consumer grade VTR
l
Requires only one crystal (32.11 or 24.576 MHz) for all standards
l
Horizontal and vertical sync detection
l
Automatic detection of 50 and 60 Hz field frequency, and automatic switching between PAL and NTSC
standards
l
Luminance and chrominance signal processing for PAL BGDHIN, combination PAL N, PAL M, NTSC
M, NTSC-Japan, NTSC 4.43 and SECAM
l
Adaptive 2/4-line comb filter for two dimensional chrominance/luminance separation
Increased luminance and chrominance bandwidth for all PAL and NTSC standards
Reduced cross colour and cross luminance artefacts
l
PAL delay line for correcting PAL phase errors
l
Independent Brightness Contrast Saturation (BCS) adjustment for decoder part
l
User programmable sharpness control
l
Independent gain and offset adjustment for raw data path.
Video scaler
l
Horizontal and vertical down-scaling and up-scaling to randomly sized windows
l
Horizontal and vertical scaling range: variable zoom to 1/64 (icon); it should be noted that the H and V
zoom are restricted by the transfer data rates
l
Anti-alias and accumulating filter for horizontal scaling
l
Vertical scaling with linear phase interpolation and accumulating filter for anti
accuracy)
l
Horizontal phase correct up and down scaling for improved signal quality of scaled data, especially for
compression and video phone applications, with 6-bit phase accuracy (1.2 ns step width)
l
Two independent programming sets for scaler part, to define two ‘ranges’ per field or sequences over
frames
l
Fieldwise switching between decoder part and expansion port (X-port) input
l
Brightness, contrast and saturation controls for scaled outputs.
Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) data decoder and slicer
l
Versatile VBI-data decoder, slicer, clock regeneration and byte synchronization e.g. for World Standard
Teletext (WST), North-American Broadcast Text System (NABTS), close caption, Wide Screen
Signalling (WSS) etc.
Audio clock generation
l
Generation of a field locked audio master clock to support a constant number of audio clocks per video
