2.5. Macrovision Detection
Video signals from Macrovision encoded VCR tapes are
decoded without loss of picture quality. However it might
be necessary in some applications to detect the pres-
ence of Macrovision encoded video signals. This is pos-
sible by reading a status register (FP-RAM 0x170).
Macrovision encoded video signals typically have AGC
pulses and pseudo sync pulses added during VBI. The
amplitude of the AGC pulses is modulated in time. The
Macrovision detection logic measures the VBI lines and
compares the signal against programmable thresholds.
The window in which the video lines are checked for Ma-
crovision pulses can be defined in terms of start and stop
line (e.g. 6
–
15 for NTSC).
2.6. Component Processing
Recovery of the YC
b
C
r
components by the decoder is
followed by horizontal resizing and skew compensation.
Contrast enhancement with noise shaping can also be
applied to the luminance signal. Vertical resizing is sup-
ported via line dropping.

12 illustrates the signal flow through the compo-
nent processing stage. The YC
b
C
r
4:2:2 samples are
separated into a luminance path and a chrominance
path. The Luma Filtering block applies anti-aliasing low-
pass filters with cutoff frequencies adapted to the num-
ber of samples after scaling, as well as peaking and cor-
ing. The Resize and Skew blocks alter the effective
sampling rate and compensate for horizontal line skew.
The YC
b
C
r
samples are buffered in a FIFO for continu-
ous burst at a fixed clock rate. For luminance samples,
the contrast and brightness can be adjusted and noise
shaping applied. In the chrominance path, C
b
and C
r
samples can be swapped. Without swapping, the first
valid video sample is a C
b
sample. Chrominance gain
can be adjusted in the color decoder.
