Introduction
TVP5200 is the first, high quality, all format, single-chip digital video decoder that digitizes and decodes all popular base-band analog
video and PC graphics formats into digital component video. TVP5200 supports the A/D conversion of Standard-Definition (SDTV),
progressive-scan Enhanced Definition (EDTV) and High Definition (HDTV) component RGB and YPbPr signals, A/D conversion of
PC graphics signals up to UXGA resolution, as well as the A/D conversion and decoding of NTSC, PAL and SECAM composite and
S-Video into component YCbCr or RGB outputs. This chip includes four high-speed 9-bit 165-MSPS A/D converters. Prior to each
A/D converter, each analog channel contains an analog circuit, which clamps the input to a reference voltage and applies a
programmable gain and offset. A total of 14 video input terminals can be arbitrarily configured to any combination of
RGB,YPbPr,CVBS,S-Video video inputs.
Composite or S-Video SDTV signals are sampled at 2x the square-pixel or ITU-R BT.601 clock frequency (27 MHz), line-locked for
correct pixel alignment, and are afterwards decimated to the 1x rate. Component video SDTV (525/625 line interlaced), EDTV
(525/625 line progressive) and HDTV (1080I,720P) formats can be sampled at 1x or 2x the video clock frequency (27,54 or
148.5MHz), and are afterwards decimated to the 1x rate.
CVBS decoding utilizes 2-dimensional complementary 3-line or 4-line adaptive comb filtering for both the luma and chroma data
paths, to reduce both cross-luma and cross-chroma artifacts. A chroma trap filter is also available. On CVBS and Y/C inputs, the user
can control video characteristics such as hue, contrast, brightness and saturation via an I
2C host port interface. Furthermore, luma
peaking with programmable gain is included, as well as a patented chroma transient improvement (CTI) circuit. A built-in fully-
programmable color space converter can be selectively applied to either decoded CVBS/S-Video, and/or component RGB/YCbCr.
The following output formats can be selected: 20/16- or 10/8-bit 4:2:2 YCbCr with separate syncs, 10/8-bit ITU-R BT.656 with
embedded syncs, 12-bit dual-edge clocked RGB 4:4:4, 30/24-bit RGB/YCbCr 4:4:4, 15-bit RGB, 16-bit RGB, and 30/24-bit
Fastswitch RGB/YCbCr. TVP5200 utilizes Texas Instruments’ patented technology for locking to weak, noisy, or unstable signals
and can auto-detect between broadcast-quality and VCR-style (non-standard) video sources.
TVP5200 generates synchronization, blanking, field, active video window, horizontal and vertical lock, clock, genlock (for
downstream video encoder synchronization), host CPU interrupt and programmable logic I/O signals, in addition to digital video
outputs.
TVP5200 includes methods for advanced vertical blanking interval (VBI) data retrieval. The VBI Data Processor (VDP) slices,
parses, and performs error checking on teletext, closed caption, Gemstar
TM, and other VBI data. A built-in FIFO stores up to 11 lines
of teletext data, and with proper host port synchronization, full-screen teletext retrieval is possible. TVP5200 can pass through the
output formatter 2x sampled raw composite data for host-based VBI processing.
TVP5200 also supports the digitization of PC RGB graphics (VESA) signals. The device handles pixel rates up to 165 MSPS with 32
phase control settings for the sampling clock. Therefore, it can be used for PC graphics digitizing up to the VESA standard of UXGA
(1600x1200) resolution at 60Hz screen refresh rate (162MSPS).
The device provides the option for concurrent processing of pixel-locked CVBS and RGB/YPbPr input formats, and it is possible to
switch the output bus between both input sources on a per pixel basis via a dedicated input terminal (Fastswitch mode for SCART).
