AGC Mode and Non-AGC Mode
Switch between non-AGC mode and AGC mode using I2C_SCARTON.
Non-AGC mode is used when the amplitude of the video signal is steady in the environment of an strong electric field.
The maximum of the sync tip clamped analog video input amplitude assumes 1.0Vp-p in non-AGC mode. The ADC
full-scale input range is fixed at 1.4Vp-p.
AGC mode is used when the amplitude of the video signal is unsteady in the environment of a weak electric field. The
maximum of the sync tip clamped analog video input amplitude assumes a value no greater than from 0.7Vp-p (-3dB)
to 1.4Vp-p (+3dB) in AGC mode. Because the AFEVRTC is controlled according to the amplitude of SYNC detected
by the decoder, AGC mode is enabled by varying the ADC full-scale input range.
3. Data Interpolator
Data interpolator converts the input video signal sampled at 27MHz into 4fsc data. Supported video systems are shown
in the following table.

4. APC (Auto Phase Control)
In order to burst lock input video signals, the APC circuit detects the color burst phase error. The data interpolation
coefficient is calculated using the detected phase error, and is then output to the data interpolator circuit. It is equipped
with a function to turn on the color killer when not burst-locked, and also has an ACC circuit to maintain the amplitude
of the carrier chrominance signal at a constant level.
5. AGC (Auto Gain Control)
The AGC keeps the sync level constant by automatically calculating an appropriate gain value from the input video
signal sync level and amplifying the input video signal. Because the AGC circuit includes a time constant circuit,
following rapid changes in the input video signal can be suppressed.
