VBI-data decoder and capture
(subaddresses 40H to 7FH)
The SAA7114H contains a versatile VBI-data decoder.
The implementation and programming model accords to
the VBI-data slicer built in the multimedia video data
acquisition circuit SAA5284.
The circuitry recovers the actual clock phase during the
clock run-in period, slices the data bits with the selected
data rate, and groups them to bytes. The result is buffered
into a dedicated VBI-data FIFO with a capacity of
2
× 56 bytes (2 × 14 Dwords). The clock frequency,
signals source, field frequency, accepted error count must
be defined in subaddress 40H.
The supported VBI-data standards are shown in Table 14.
For lines 2 to 24 of a field, per VBI line, 1 of 16 standards
can be selected (LCR24_[7:0] to LCR2_[7:0] in
57H[7:0] to 41H[7:0]: 23
× 2 × 4 bit programming bits).
The definition for line 24 is valid for the rest of the
corresponding field, normally no text data (= video data)
should be selected there (LCR24_[7:0] = FFH) to stop the
activity of the VBI-data slicer during active video.
To adjust the slicers processing to the input signal source,
there are offsets in horizontal and vertical direction
available: parameters HOFF[10:0]5BH[2:0]59H[7:0],
VOFF[8:0]5BH[4]5AH[7:0] and FOFF[5BH[7]]).
Contrary to the scalers counting, the slicers offsets are
defining the position of the H and V trigger events related
to the processed video field. The trigger events are the
falling edge of HREF and the falling edge of V123 from the
decoder processing part.
The relation of these programming values to the input
signal and the recommended values can be seen in
Tables 4 to 7.
