ADV601
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADV601 is a very low cost, single chip, dedicated function,
all digital CMOS VLSI device capable of supporting visually
loss-less to 350:1 real-time compression and decompression of
CCIR-601 digital video at very high image quality levels. The
chip integrates glueless video and host interfaces with on-chip
SRAM to permit low part count, system level implementations
suitable for a broad range of applications.
The ADV601 is a video encoder/decoder optimized for real-time
compression and decompression of interlaced digital video. All
features of the ADV601 are designed to yield high performance
at a breakthrough systems-level cost. Additionally, the unique
sub-band coding architecture of the ADV601 offers you many
application-specific advantages. A review of the General Theory
of Operation and Applying the ADV601 sections will help you
get the most use out of the ADV601 in any given application.
The ADV601 accepts component digital video through the
Video Interface and outputs a compressed bit stream though the
Host Interface in Encode Mode. While in Decode Mode, the
ADV601 accepts a compressed bit stream through the Host
Interface and outputs component digital video through the
Video Interface. The host accesses all of the ADV601’s control
and status registers using the Host Interface. An optional Digital
Signal Processor (DSP) may be used for calculating quantization Bin Widths (BW) (instead of the host); the ADV601 sends
current field statistics and receives Bin Width results as a packet
I/O over the DSP serial port interface. A generic fixed-point DSP
(for instance the ADSP-2105) is more than adequate for these
calculations. Figure 1 summarizes the basic function of the part.

This data sheet gives an overview of the ADV601 functionality
and provides details on designing the part into a system. The
text of the data sheet is written for an audience with a general
knowledge of designing digital video systems. Where appropriate, additional sources of reference material are noted throughout the data sheet.
The ADV601 adheres to international standard CCIR-601 for
studio quality digital video. The codec also supports a range of
field sizes and rates providing high performance in computer,
PAL, NTSC, or still image environments. The ADV601 is
designed only for real-time interlaced video, full frames of video
are formed and processed as two independent fields of data.
The ADV601 supports the field rates and sizes in Table I. Note
that the maximum active field size is 768 by 288. The maximum
pixel rate is 14.75 MHz.
The ADV601 has a generic 8-/16-/32-bit host interface, which
includes a 512 position, 32-bit wide FIFO for compressed video.
With additional external hardware, the ADV601’s host interface
is suitable (when interfaced to other devices) for moving compressed video over PCI, ISA, SCSI, SONET, 10 Base T, ARCnet,
HDSL, ADSL, and a broad range of digital interfaces. For a full
description of the Host Interface, see the Host Interface section.
The compressed data rate is determined by the input data rate
and the selected compression ratio. The ADV601 can achieve a
near constant compressed bit rate by using the current field
statistics in the off-chip bin width calculator on the external
DSP or Host. The process of calculating bin widths on a DSP
or Host can be “adaptive,” optimizing the compressed bit rate
in real time. This feature provides a near constant bit rate out of
the host interface in spite of scene changes or other types of
source material changes that would otherwise create bit rate
burst conditions. For more information on the quantizer, see
the Programmable Quantizer section.
The ADV601 typically yields visually loss-less compression on
natural images at a 4:1 compression ratio. Desired image quality
levels can vary widely in different applications, so it is advisable
to evaluate image quality of known source material at different
compression ratios to find the best compression range for the
application. The sub-band coding architecture of the ADV601
provides a number of options to stretch compression performance. These options are outlined on in the Applying the
ADV601 section.
The DSP serial port interface (SPORT) enables performance of
Bin Width calculations on a DSP instead of the host. The ADV601
transfers current video field statistics to the DSP and receives Bin
Width data from the DSP as packet I/O through the DSP Interface. A generic fixed-point DSP (i.e., the ADSP-2105 low cost,
fixed-point DSP) is more than adequate for these calculations.
INTERNAL ARCHITECTURE
The ADV601 is composed of nine blocks. Four of these blocks
are interface blocks and five are processing blocks. The interface
blocks are the Digital Video I/O Port, the Host I/O Port, external DRAM manager, and the DSP serial I/O Port. The processing blocks are the Wavelet Kernel, the On-Chip Transform
Buffer, the Programmable Quantizer, the Run Length Coder,
and the Huffman Coder.
Digital Video I/O Port
Provides a real-time uncompressed video interface to support a
broad range of component digital video formats, including “D1.”
Host I/O Port and FIFO
Carries control, status, and compressed video to and from the
host processor. A 512 position by 32-bit FIFO buffers the compressed video stream between the host and the Huffman Coder.
DRAM Manager
Performs all tasks related to writing, reading, and refreshing the
external DRAM. The external host buffer DRAM is used for
reordering and buffering quantizer input and output values.
Serial Port (to Optional DSP)
Supports, during encode only, communication of wavelet statistics between the Wavelet Kernel and the DSP and quantizer
control information between the DSP and the Quantizer block.
The user programmed compression ratio is also sent from the
ADV601 host interface to the DSP automatically. Note that a
host processor can be used to replace the DSP functionality in
computer applications.
Wavelet Kernel (Filters, Decimator, and Interpolator)
Gathers statistics on a per field basis and includes a block of
filters, interpolators, and decimators. The kernel calculates
forward and backward bi-orthogonal, two-dimensional, separable wavelet transforms on horizontal scanned video data. This
block uses the internal transform buffer when performing wavelet transforms calculated on an entire image’s data and so
eliminates any need for extremely fast external memories in
an ADV601-based design.
On-Chip Transform Buffer
Provides an internal set of SRAM for use by the wavelet transform kernel. Its function is to provide enough delay line storage
to support calculation of separable two dimensional wavelet
transforms for horizontally scanned images.
Programmable Quantizer
Quantizes wavelet coefficients. Quantize controls are calculated
by the external DSP or host processor during encode operations
and de-quantize controls are extracted from the compressed bit
stream during decode. Each quantizer Bin Width is computed
by the BW calculator software to maintain a constant compressed bit rate or constant quality bit rate. A Bin Width is a per
block parameter the quantizer uses when determining the number of bits to allocate to each block (sub-band).
Run Length Coder
Performs run length coding on zero data and models nonzero
data, encoding or decoding for more efficient Huffman coding.
This data coding is optimized across the sub-bands and varies
depending on the block being coded.
Huffman Coder
Performs Huffman coder and decoder functions on quantized
run-length coded coefficient values. The Huffman coder/decoder uses three ROM-coded Huffman tables that provide excellent performance for wavelet transformed video.
GENERAL THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADV601 processor’s compression algorithm is based on the
bi-orthogonal (7, 9) wavelet transform, and implements field
independent sub-band coding. Sub-band coders transform twodimensional spatial video data into spatial frequency filtered
sub-bands. The quantization and entropy encoding processes
provide the ADV601’s data compression.
The wavelet theory, on which the ADV601 is based, is a new
mathematical apparatus first explicitly introduced by Morlet and
Grossman in their works on geophysics during the mid 80s.
This theory became very popular in theoretical physics and
applied math. The late 80s and 90s have seen a dramatic growth
in wavelet applications such as signal and image processing. For
more on wavelet theory by Morlet and Grossman, see Decompo-
sition of Hardy Functions into Square Integrable Wavelets of Constant Shape (journal citation listed in References section).

ADV601
THE WAVELET KERNEL
This block contains a set of filters and decimators that work on
the image in both horizontal and vertical directions. Figure 6
illustrates the filter tree structure. The filters apply carefully
chosen wavelet basis functions that better correlate to the broadband nature of images than the sinusoidal waves used in Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) compression schemes (JPEG,
MPEG, and H261).
An advantage of wavelet-based compression is that the entire
image can be filtered without being broken into sub-blocks as
required in DCT compression schemes. This full image filtering
eliminates the block artifacts seen in DCT compression and
offers more graceful image degradation at high compression
ratios. The availability of full image sub-band data also makes
image processing, scaling, and a number of other system features possible with little or no computational overhead.
The resultant filtered image is made up of components of the
original image as is shown in Figure 3 (a modified Mallat Tree).
Note that Figure 3 shows how a component of video would be
filtered, but in multiple component video luminance and color
components are filtered separately. In Figure 4 and Figure 5 an
actual image and the Mallat Tree (luminance only) equivalent is
shown. It is important to note that while the image has been
filtered or transformed into the frequency domain, no compression has occurred. With the image in its filtered state, it is now
ready for processing in the second block, the quantizer.
Understanding the structure and function of the wavelet filters
and resultant product is the key to obtaining the highest performance from the ADV601. Consider the following points:
• The data in all blocks (except N) for all components are high
pass filtered. Therefore, the mean pixel value in those blocks
is typically zero and a histogram of the pixel values in these
blocks will contain a single “hump” (Laplacian distribution).
• The data in most blocks is more likely to contain zeros or
strings of zeros than unfiltered image data.
• The human visual system is less sensitive to higher frequency
blocks than low ones.
• Attenuation of the selected blocks in luminance or color components results in control over sharpness, brightness, contrast
and saturation.
• High quality filtered/decimated images can be extracted/created
without computational overhead.
Through leverage of these key points, the ADV601 not only
compresses video, but offers a host of application features. Please
see the Applying the ADV601 section for details on getting the
most out of the ADV601’s sub-band coding architecture in
different applications.

This block quantizes the filtered image based on the response
profile of the human visual system. In general, the human eye
cannot resolve high frequencies in images to the same level of
accuracy as lower frequencies. Through intelligent “quantization” of information contained within the filtered image, the
ADV601 achieves compression without compromising the visual
quality of the image. Figure 7 shows the encode and decode
data formats used by the quantizer.
Figure 8 shows how a typical quantization pattern applies over
Mallat block data. The high frequency blocks receive much larger
quantization (appear darker) than the low frequency blocks (appear
lighter). Looking at this figure, one sees some key point concerning
quantization: (1) quantization relates directly to frequency in
Mallat block data and (2) levels of quantization range widely from
high to low frequency block. (Note that the fill is based on a log
formula.) The relation between actual ADV601 bin width factors
and the Mallat block fill pattern in Figure 8 appears in Table II.

THE RUN LENGTH CODER AND HUFFMAN CODER
This block contains two types of entropy coders that achieve
mathematically loss-less compression: run-length and Huffman.
The run-length coder looks for long strings of zeros and replaces
it with short hand symbols. Table III illustrates an example of
how compression is possible.
The Huffman coder is a digital compressor/decompressor that
can be used for compressing any type of digital data. Essentially,
an ideal Huffman coder creates a table of the most commonly
occurring code sequences (typically zero and small values near
zero) and then replaces those codes with some shorthand. The
ADV601 employs three fixed Huffman tables; it does not create
tables.
The filters and the quantizer increase the number of zeros and
strings of zeros, which improves the performance of the entropy
coders. The higher the selected compression ratio, the more
zeros and small value sequences the quantizer needs to generate.
The transformed image in Figure 5 shows that the filter bank
concentrates zeros and small values in the higher frequency
blocks.
Encoding vs. Decoding
The decoding of compressed video follows the exact path as
encoding but in reverse order. There is no need to calculate Bin
Widths during decode because the Bin Width is stored in the
compressed image during encode.
PROGRAMMER’S MODEL
A host device configures the ADV601 using the Host I/O Port.
The host reads from status registers and writes to control registers through the Host I/O Port.
An optional DSP can perform Bin Width calculations for the
ADV601. The ADV601 can transfer data from component
video statistics registers and receive data for Bin Width registers
as a packet I/O using the DSP I/O Port. Table IV illustrates the
format used to describe the ADV601’s read and write registers.

ADV601 REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS
Indirect Address Register
Direct (Write) Register Byte Offset 0x00.
This register holds a 16-bit value (index) that selects the indirect register accessible to the host through the indirect data register. All
indirect write registers are 16-bits wide. The address in this register is auto-incremented on each subsequent access of the indirect
data register. This capability enhances I/O performance during modes of operation where the host is calculating Bin Width controls.
In 8-bit mode, auto-increment occurs after writing to Byte 1 (BE1 pin asserted) of the Indirect Data Register; always read or write
Byte 0 then Byte 1 when in 8-bit mode.
[15:0]Indirect Address Register, IAR[15:0]. Holds a 16-bit value (index) that selects the indirect register to read or write through
the indirect data register (undefined at reset)
[31:16] Reserved (undefined read/write zero)
Indirect Register Data
Direct (Read/Write) Register Byte Offset 0x04
This register holds a 16-bit value read or written from or to the indirect register indexed by the Indirect Address Register. In 8-bit
mode, Byte 0 is read or written first followed by Byte 1. This ensures correct operation of auto-increment.
[15:0]Indirect Register Data, IRD[15:0]. A 16-bit value read or written to the indexed indirect register. Undefined at reset.
[31:16] Reserved (undefined read/write zero)
Compressed Data Register
Direct (Read/Write) Register Byte Offset 0x08
This register holds a 32-bit sequence from the compressed video bit stream. This register is buffered by a 512 position, 32-bit FIFO.
Access bytes in the following order for correct auto-increment: Byte 0, Byte 1, Byte 2, then Byte 3. For Word (16-bit) accesses, access Word0 (Byte 0 and Byte 1) then Word1 (Byte 2 and Byte 3). For a description of the data sequence, see the Compressed
Data Stream Definition section.
[31:0]Compressed Data Register, CDR[31:0]. 32-bit value containing compressed video stream data. At reset, contents undefined.
Interrupt Mask / Status Register
Direct (Read/Write) Register Byte Offset 0x0C
This 16-bit register contains interrupt mask and status bits that control the state of the ADV601’s HIRQ pin. With the seven mask
bits (IE_LCODE, IE_STATSR, IE_FIFOSTP, IE_FIFOSRQ, IE_FIFOERR, IE_CCIRER, IE_MERR); select the conditions that
are ORed together to determine the output of the HIRQ pin.
Six of the status bits (LCODE, STATSR, FIFOSTP, MERR, FIFOERR, CCIRER) indicate active interrupt conditions and are
sticky bits that stay set until read. Because sticky status bits are cleared when read, and these bits are set on the positive edge of the
condition coming true, they cannot be read or tested for stable level true conditions multiple times.
The FIFOSRQ bit is not sticky. This bit can be polled to monitor for a FIFOSRQ true condition. Note: Enable this monitoring by
using the FIFOSRQ bit and correctly programming DSL and ESL fields within the FIFO control registers.
[0]CCIR-656 Error in CCIR-656 data stream, CCIRER. This read only status bit indicates the following:
0No CCIR-656 Error condition, reset value
1Unrecoverable error in CCIR-656 data stream (missing sync codes)
[1]Statistics Ready, STATSR. This read only status bit indicates the following:
0No Statistics Ready condition, reset value (STATS_R pin LO)
1Statistics Ready for BW calculator (STATS_R pin HI)
[2]Last Code Read, LCODE. This read only status bit indicates the last compressed data word for field will be
retrieved from the FIFO on the next read from the host bus.
0No Last Code condition, reset value (LCODE pin LO)
1Next read retrieves last word for field in FIFO (LCODE pin HI)
[3]FIFO Service Request, FIFOSRQ. This read only status bit indicates the following:
0No FIFO Service Request condition, reset value (FIFO_SRQ pin LO)
1FIFO is nearly full (encode) or nearly empty (decode) (FIFO_SRQ pin HI)

ADV601
[4]FIFO Error, FIFOERR. This condition indicates that the host has been unable to keep up with the ADV601’s compressed
data supply or demand requirements. If this condition occurs during encode, the data stream will not be corrupted until
MERR indicates that the DRAM is also overflowed. If this condition occurs during decode, the video output will be
corrupted. If the system overflows the FIFO (disregarding a FIFOSTP condition) with too many writes in decode mode,
FIFOERR is asserted. This read only status bit indicates the following:
0No FIFO Error condition, reset value (FIFO_ERR pin LO)
1FIFO overflow (encode) or underflow (decode) (FIFO_ERR pin HI)
[5]FIFO Stop, FIFOSTP. This condition indicates that the FIFO is full in decode mode and empty in encode mode.
In decode mode only, FIFOSTP status actually behaves more conservatively than this. In decode mode, even when
FIFOSTP is indicated, there are still 32 empty Dwords available in the FIFO and 32 more Dword writes can safely
be performed. This status bit indicates the following:
0No FIFO Stop condition, reset value (FIFO_STP pin LO)
1FIFO empty (encode) or full (decode) (FIFO_STP pin HI)
[6]Memory Error, MERR. This condition indicates that an error has occurred at the DRAM memory interface. This condition can
be caused by a defective DRAM, the inability of the Host to keep up with the ADV601 compressed data stream, or bit errors in
the data stream. Note that the ADV601 recovers from this condition without host intervention.
0No memory error condition, reset value
1Memory error

This register holds the service-request settings for the ADV601’s host interface FIFO, causing interrupts for the “nearly full” and
“nearly empty” levels. Because each register is four bits in size, and the FIFO is 512 positions, the 4-bit value must be multiplied by
32 (decimal) to determine the exact value for encode service level (nearly full) and decode service level (nearly empty). The ADV601
uses these setting to determine when to generate a FIFO Service Request related host interrupt (FIFOSRQ bit and FIFO_SRQ pin).
[3:0]Encode Service Level, ESL[3:0]. The value in this field determines when the FIFO is considered nearly full on encode; a condi-
tion that generates a FIFO service request condition in encode mode. Since this register is four bits (16 states), and the FIFO is
512 positions, the step size for each bit in this register is 32 positions. The following table summarizes sample states of the
register and their meaning.
ESL Interrupt When . . .
0000 Disables service requests (FIFO_SRQ never goes HI during encode)
0001 FIFO has only 32 positions filled (FIFO_SRQ when >= 32 positions are filled)
1000 FIFO is 1/2 full, reset value
1111 FIFO has only 32 positions empty (480 positions filled)
[7:4]Decode Service Level, DSL[7:4]. The value in this field determines when the FIFO is considered nearly empty in decode; a
condition that generates a FIFO service request in decode mode. Because this register is four bits (16 states), and the FIFO
is 512 positions, the step size for each bit in this register is 32 positions. The following table summarizes sample states of the
register and their meaning.

VIDEO AREA REGISTERS
The area defined by the HSTART, HEND, VSTART and VEND registers is the active area that the wavelet kernel processes. Video
data outside the active video area is set to minimum luminance and zero chrominance (black) by the ADV601. These registers allow
cropping of the input video during compression (encode only), but do not change the image size. Figure 10 shows how the video area
registers work together.

HSTART Register
Indirect (Write Only) Register Index 0x02
This register holds the setting for the horizontal start of the ADV601’s active video area. The value in this register is usually set to
zero, but in cases where you wish to crop incoming video it is possible to do so by changing HST.

HEND Register
Indirect (Write Only) Register Index 0x03
This register holds the setting for the horizontal end of the ADV601’s active video area. If the value is larger than the max size of the
selected video mode, the ADV601 uses the max size of the selected mode for HEND.
[9:0]Horizontal End, HEN[9:0].10-bit value defining the end of the active video region. (0x3FF at reset this value is larger than
the max size of the largest video mode)

VSTART Register
Indirect (Write Only) Register Index 0x04
This register holds the setting for the vertical start of the ADV601’s active video area. The value in this register is usually set to zero
unless you want to crop the active video.
To vertically crop video while encoding, program the VSTART and VEND registers with actual video line numbers, which differ for
each field. The VSTART and VEND contents must be updated on each field. Perform this updating as part of the field-by-field BW register update process. To perform this dynamic update correctly, the update software must keep track of which field is being processed next.
[9:0]Vertical Start, VST[9:0]. 10-bit value defining the starting line of the active video region, with line numbers from 1-to-625
in PAL and 1-to-525 in NTSC. (0 at reset)
[15:10] Reserved (always write zero)
VEND Register
Indirect (Write Only) Register Index 0x05
This register holds the setting for the vertical end of the ADV601’s active video area. If the value is larger than the max size of the
selected video mode, the ADV601 uses the max size of the selected mode for VEND.

Compression Ratio Register
Indirect (Write Only) Register Index 0x06
This register holds the value that is used by the DSP to control compression during encode mode. Note that this register should only
be used when a DSP is calculating Bin Widths.
[7:0]Compression Ratio, CRA[7:0]. Value passed to the DSP during encode operation. The 8-bit value in this field is sent to the
DSP through the serial interface during DSP-assisted encode operations. CRA values are zero-filled from the MSB and one
each is sent to the DSP as part of the packet of data on which the ratio is applied. The DSP software uses the CRA value
and other statistics to calculate BW controls for the ADV601’s quantizer. Note that the relationship between CRA and the
actual compression ratio is dependent on the BW control algorithm used in the DSP (undefined at reset).

Sum of Squares [0–41] Registers
Indirect (Read Only) Register Index 0x080 through 0x0A9
The Sum of Squares [0–41] registers hold values that correspond to the summation of values (squared) in corresponding Mallat
blocks [0–41]. These registers let the Host or DSP read sum of squares statistics from the ADV601; using these values (with the Sum
of Value, MIN Value, and MAX Value) the host or DSP can then calculate the BW and RBW values. The ADV601 indicates that
the sum of squares statistics have been updated by setting (1) the STATR bit and asserting the STAT_R pin. Read the statistics at
any time. The Host reads these values through the Host Interface or the DSP receives these values through the serial port.
[15:0]Sum of Squares, STS[15:0]. 16-bit values [0-41] for corresponding Mallat blocks [0-41] (undefined at reset). Sum of Square
values are 16-bit codes that represent the Most Significant Bits of values ranging from 40 bits for small blocks to 48 bits for
large blocks. The 16-bit codes have the following precision:

0–248.–3248.-bits wide, left shift code by 32-bits, and zero fill
3–1146.–3046.-bits wide, left shift code by 30-bits, and zero fill

30–4140.–2440.-bits wide, left shift code by 24-bits, and zero fill
If the Sum of Squares code were 0x0025 for block 10, the actual value would be 0x000940000000; if using that same

the ADV601 Video Interface.
VDATA[19:0]20I/O4:2:2 Video Data (8-, 10-, or 12-bit digital component video data). These pins are
inputs during encode mode and outputs during decode mode. When outputs (decode) these pins are compatible with 50 pF loads (rather than 30 pF as all other

NamePinsI/ODescription
DDAT[15:0]16I/ODRAM Data Bus. The ADV601 uses these pins for 16-bit data read/write
operations to the external 256K × 16-bit DRAM. (The operation of the DRAM
interface is fully automatic and controlled by internal functionality of the
ADV601.) These pins are compatible with 30 pF loads.
DADR[8:0]9ODRAM Address Bus. The ADV601 uses these pins to form the multiplexed

NamePinsI/ODescription
TXD1OSerial Transmit Data. Connect this pin to an optional, external DSP’s serial
interface RXData pin. If no DSP is present, this pin may be left unconnected.
This pin is compatible with 30 pF loads.
The TXD pin is for serial data output from the ADV601. Serial data consists of
16-bit words that are transferred most-significant-bit first.
Note that the Mode Control register must be set to indicate whether or not the
external DSP is present.
RXD1ISerial Receive Data. Connect this pin to an optional, external DSP’s serial
interface TXData pin. If no DSP is present, tie this pin to ground. This pin is
compatible with 30 pF loads.
The RXD pin is for serial data input to the ADV601. Serial data consists of 16bit words that are transferred most-significant-bit first.
Note that the Mode Control register must be set to indicate whether or not the
external DSP is present.
TCLK1OSerial Data Clock (VCLK/4). Connect this pin to an optional, external DSP’s
serial interface SCLK pin. If no DSP is present, this pin may be left unconnected. This pin is compatible with 30 pF loads.
The TCLK pin is the serial interface clock. Communication in and out of the
ADV601 requires bits of data to be transmitted after a rising edge of TCLK, and
sampled on a falling edge of TCLK. The DSP must be in external bit clock mode
to use TCLK correctly. The codec drives the TCLK frequency at 1/4 VCLK.
Some typical VCLK and TCLK frequencies are as follows:
• VCLKTCLK (= 1/4 VCLK)
• 27 MHz6.75 MHz
• 29.5 MHz7.375 MHz
• 24.54 MHz6.135 MHz

TF1OSerial Transmit Frame Sync. Connect this pin to an optional, external DSP’s serial
interface RF Sync pin. If no DSP is present, leave this pin unconnected. This pin is
compatible with 30 pF loads.
The TF pin is the transmit frame synch. When transmitting, the ADV601 marks
new frames with a HI pulse driven out on TF one serial clock period before the
frame begins. Whether transmitting or receiving, the synch signals may transition
back from HI to LO at any time, provided the HI and LO times of TF or RF are at
least one TCLK period in duration. Note that the DSP must be set for external
framing on receive data. Frame size for ADV601 serial data transmission is 52 slots
of 16 bits.
Note that the Mode Control register must be set to indicate whether or not the
external DSP is present.
RF1IReceive Frame Sync. Connect this pin to an optional, external DSP’s serial inter-
face TF Sync pin. If no DSP is present, tie this pin to ground. This pin is compatible with 30 pF loads.
The RF pin is the receive frame synch. When receiving, the ADV601 requires that
the DSP marks new frames with a LO to HI transition driven in on RF one serial
clock period before the frame begins. Whether transmitting or receiving, the synch
signals may transition back from HI to LO at any time provided the HI and LO
times of TF or RF are at least one TCLK period in duration. Note that the DSP
must be set for internal framing on transmit data. When receiving, the frame size
for ADV601 serial data is 84 slots of 16 bits.
Note that the Mode Control register must be set to indicate whether or not the
external DSP is present.
DIRQ1ODSP Interrupt. Connect this pin to an optional, external DSP’s hardware interrupt
pin (IRQ2). If no DSP is present, this pin may be left unconnected. This pin is
compatible with 30 pF loads.
The DIRQ pin on the ADV601 provides an optional method for signalling the DSP
that a new packet of field statistics is being transmitted and can be used systemwide for signalling that a new video field has begun. Because the ADV601 asserts
DIRQ throughout statistics transmission and bin width reception, the DSP’s interrupts should be set for edge-sensitivity.
Note that the Mode Control register must be set to indicate whether or not the
external DSP is present.
Host Interface Pins
NamePinsI/ODescription
DATA[31:0]32I/OHost Data Bus. These pins make up a 32-bit wide host data bus. The host controls
this asynchronous bus with the WR, RD, BE, and CS pins to communicate with
the ADV601. These pins are compatible with 30 pF loads.
ADR[1:0]2IHost DWord Address Bus. These two address pins let you address the ADV601’s
four directly addressable host interface registers. For an illustration of how this
addressing works, see the Control and Write Register Map figure and Status and
Read Register Map figure. The ADR bits permit register addressing as follows:
BE0–BE34IHost Byte Enable pins. These four input pins allow selection of which bytes in
ADV601 direct and indirect registers will be accessed through the Host Interface;
BE0—least significant byte BE3—most significant byte. For a 32-bit interface only,
tie these pins to ground, making all bytes available.

Host Interface Pins (Continued)
NamePinsI/ODescription
BE0–BE3 (Cont.)4ISome important notes for 8- and 16-bit interfaces are as follows:
• When using these byte enable pins, the byte order is always the lowest byte
• to the higher bytes.
• The ADV601 advances to the next 32-bit compressed data FIFO location
• after the BE3 pin is asserted then de-asserted (when accessing the Com-
• pressed Data register); so the FIFO location only advances when and if the
• host reads or writes the MSB of a FIFO location.
• The ADV601 advances to the next 16-bit indirect register after the BE1 pin
• is asserted then de-asserted; so the register selection only advances when
• and if the host reads or writes the MSB of a 16-bit indirect register.
CS1IHost Chip Select. This pin operates as follows:
• LO Qualifies Host Interface control signals
• HI Three-states DATA[31:0] pins
WR1IHost Write. Host register writes occur on the rising edge of this signal.
RD1IHost Read. Host register reads occur on the low true level of this signal.
ACK1OHost Acknowledge. The ADV601 acknowledges completion of a Host Inter-
face access by asserting this pin. Most Host Interface accesses (other than the
compressed data register access) result in ACK being held high for at least one
wait cycle, but some exceptions to that rule are as follows:
• A full FIFO during decode operations causes the ADV601 to de-assert
• (drive HI) the ACK pin, holding off further writes of compressed data until
• the FIFO has one available location.
• An empty FIFO during encode operations causes the ADV601 to de-assert
(drive HI) the ACK pin, holding off further reads until one location is filled.
FIFO_ERR1OFIFO Error. This condition indicates that the host has been unable to keep up
with the ADV601’s compressed data supply or demand requirements. If this
condition occurs for a long time during encode, the data stream may be corrupted. If this condition occurs for a long time during decode, the video output may be corrupted. The state of this pin also appears in the Interrupt Mask/
Status register. Use the interrupt mask to assert a Host interrupt (HIRQ pin)
based on the state of the FIFO_ERR pin. This pin operates as follows:
•LO No FIFO Error condition (FIFOERR bit LO)
•HI FIFO overflow (encode) or underflow (decode) (FIFOERR bit HI)
FIFO_SRQ1OFIFO Service Request. This pin is an active high signal indicating that the
FIFO needs to be serviced by the host. (see FIFO Control register). The state
of this pin also appears in the Interrupt Mask/Status register. Use the interrupt
mask to assert a Host interrupt (HIRQ pin) based on the state of the FIFO_SRQ
pin. This pin operates as follows:
• LO No FIFO Service Request condition (FIFOSRQ bit LO)
• HI FIFO needs service is nearly full (encode) or nearly empty (decode)
During encode, FIFO_SRQ is LO when the SWR bit is cleared (0) and goes
HI when the FIFO is nearly full (see FIFO Control register).
During decode, FIFO_SRQ is HI when the SWR bit is cleared (0), because
FIFO is empty, and goes LO when the FIFO is filled beyond the nearly empty
condition (see FIFO Control register).

compressed data supply or demand requirements. The state of this pin also appears
in the Interrupt Mask/Status register. Use the interrupt mask to assert a Host interrupt (HIRQ pin) based on the state of the FIFO_STP pin. This pin operates as
follows:
• LO No FIFO Stop condition (FIFOSTP bit LO)
• HI FIFO empty (encode) or full (decode) (FIFOSTP bit HI)
STATS_R1OStatistics Ready. This pin indicates the Wavelet Statistics (contents of Sum of
Squares, Sum of Value, MIN Value, MAX Value registers) have been updated and
are ready for the Bin Width calculator to read them from the host or DSP interface.
The frequency of this interrupt will be equal to the field rate. The state of this pin
also appears in the Interrupt Mask/Status register. Use the interrupt mask to assert
a Host interrupt (HIRQ pin) based on the state of the STATS_R pin. This pin
operates as follows:
• LO No Statistics Ready condition (STATSR bit LO)
• HI Statistics Ready for BW calculator (STATSR bit HI)
LCODE1OLast Compressed Data (for field). This bit indicates the last compressed data word
for field will be retrieved from the FIFO on the next read from the host bus. The
frequency of this interrupt is similar to the field rate, but varies depending on
compression and host response. The state of this pin also appears in the Interrupt
Mask/Status register. Use the interrupt mask to assert a Host interrupt (HIRQ pin)
based on the state of the LCODE pin. This pin operates as follows:
• LO No Last Code condition (LCODE bit LO)
• HI Last data word for field has been read from FIFO (LCODE bit HI)
HIRQ1OHost Interrupt Request. This pin indicates an interrupt request to the Host. The
Interrupt Mask/Status register can select conditions for this interrupt based on any
or all of the following: FIFOSTP, FIFOSRQ, FIFOERR, LCODE, STATR or
CCIR656 unrecoverable error. Note that the polarity of the HIRQ pin can be
modified using the Mode Control register.
RESET1IADV601 Chip Reset. Asserting this pin returns all registers to reset state. Note that
the ADV601 must be reset at least once after power-up with this active low signal
input. For more information on reset, see the SWR bit description.

• Encode-Decode Control
In addition to determining what functions the internal processing elements must perform, this control determines the
direction of the video interface. In decode mode, the video
interface outputs data. In encode mode, the interface receives
data. The state of the control is reflected on the ENC pin.
This pin can be used as an enable input by external line drivers. This control is maintained by the host processor.
• Master-Slave Control
This control determines whether the ADV601 generates or
receives the VSYNC, HSYNC, CREF, and FIELD signals. In
master mode, the ADV601 generates these signals for external
hardware synchronization. In slave mode, the ADV601 receives these signals. Note that some video formats require the
ADV601 to operate in slave mode only. This control is maintained by the host processor.
• 525-625 (NTSC-PAL) Control
This control determines whether the ADV601 is operating on
525/NTSC video or 625/PAL video. This information is used
when the ADV601 is in master and decode modes so that the
ADV601 knows where and when to generate the HSYNC,
VSYNC, and FIELD Pulses as well as when to insert the SAV
and EAV time codes (for CCIR-656 only) in the data stream.
This control is maintained by the host processor. Table VI
shows how the 525-625 Control and Square Pixel Control in
the Mode Control register work together.
Internally, the video interface translates all video formats to one
consistent format to be passed to the wavelet kernel. This consistent internal video standard is 4:2:2 at 16 bits accuracy.
VITC and Closed Captioning Support
The video interface also supports the direct loss-less extraction
of 90-bit VITC codes during encode and the insertion of VITC
codes during decode. Closed Captioning data (found on active
Video Line 21) is handled just as normal active video on an
active scan line. As a result, no special dedicated support is
necessary for Closed Captioning. The data rates for Closed
Captioning data are low enough to ensure robust operation of
this mechanism at compression ratios of 50:1 and higher. Note
that you must include Video Line 21 in the ADV601’s defined
active video area for Closed Caption support.
27 MHz Nominal Sampling
There is one clock input (VCLK) to support all internal processing elements. This is a 50% duty cycle signal and must be synchronous to the video data. Internally this clock is doubled using
a phase locked loop to provide for a 54 MHz internal processing
clock. The clock interface is a two pin interface that allows a
crystal oscillator to be tied across the pins or a clock oscillator to
drive one pin. The nominal clock rate for the video interface is
27 MHz. Note that the ADV601 also supports pixel rates ranging
from 12.27 MHz to 14.75 MHz (VCLK rates from 24.54 MHz to
29.5 MHz).
Video Interface and Modes
In all, there are seven programmable features that configure the
video interface. These are:
Table VI. Square Pixel Control, 525-625 Control, and
Video Formats
00720243CCIR-601 NTSC
01720288CCIR-601 PAL
10640243Square Pixel NTSC
11768288Square Pixel PAL
• Square Pixel Control
This control determines whether the ADV601 is operating on
square pixel video. For square pixel NTSC, the 525-625
Control is set to 525 and the Square Pixel Control is asserted.
For square pixel PAL, the 525-625 Control is set to 625 and
the Square Pixel Control is asserted. Also note that the VCLK
input differs for NTSC and PAL video.
• Bipolar/Unipolar Color Component
This mode determines whether offsets are used on color components. In Philips mode, this control is usually set to Bipolar, since the color components are normal twos-compliment
signed values. In CCIR-656 mode, this control is set to Unipolar, since the color components are offset by 128. Note that
it is likely the ADV601 will function if this control is in the
wrong state, but compression performance will be degraded.
It is important to set this bit correctly.

• Active Area Control
Four registers HSTART (horizontal start), HEND (horizontal end), VSTART (vertical start) and VEND (vertical end)
determine the active video area. The maximum active video
area is 768 by 288 pixels for a single field.
• Video Format
This control determines the video format that is supported. In
general, the goal of the various video formats is to support
glueless interfaces to the wide variety of video formats peripheral components expect. This control is maintained by the
host processor. Table VII shows a synopsis of the supported
video formats. Definitions of each format can be found later
in this section. For Video Interface pins descriptions, see the
Clocks and Strobes
All video data, whether 1 or 2 “lanes” of video are used, are
synchronous to the video clock (VCLK). The rising edge of
VCLK is used to clock all data into the ADV601.
Synchronization and Blanking Pins
Three signals, which can be configured as inputs or outputs, are
used for video frame and field horizontal synchronization and
blanking. These signals are VSYNC, HSYNC, and FIELD.
VDATA Pins Functions With Differing Video Interface Formats
The functionality of the Video Interface pins depends on the
current video format. Table VIII defines how Video data pins
are used for the various formats.

with the Video Format Descriptions found later in this section. Note that Data0 is always the LSB for all formats.

ADV601
Video Formats—CCIR-656
The ADV601 supports a glueless video interface to CCIR-656
devices when the Video Format is programmed to CCIR-656
mode. CCIR-656 requires that 4:2:2 data (8 or 10 bits per component) be multiplexed and transmitted over a single 8- or 10-bit
physical interface. A 27 MHz clock is transmitted along with the
data. This clock is synchronous with the data. The color space of
CCIR-656 is YCrCb.
When in master mode, the CCIR-656 mode does not require
any external synchronization or blanking signals to accompany
digital video. Instead, CCIR-656 includes special time codes in
the stream syntax that define horizontal blanking periods, vertical blanking periods, and field synchronization (horizontal and
vertical synchronization information can be derived). These
time codes are called End-of-Active-Video (EAV) and Start-ofActive-Video (SAV). Each line of video has one EAV and one
SAV time code. EAV and SAV have three bits of embedded
information to define HSYNC, VSYNC and Field information
as well as error detection and correction bits.

functionality is independent of the state of
the 525-625 mode control. An encoder is
most likely to be in master mode.
Decode Mode (video data is outputPins are output to the precise timing definitionsUndefined—Use Master Mode
from the chip)for CCIR-656 interfaces. The state of the pins
reflect the state of the EAV and SAV timing
codes that are generated in the output video data.
These definitions are different for 525 and 625 line
systems. The ADV601 completely manages the
generation and timing of these pins.
VCLK is driven with a 27 MHz, 50% duty cycle clock which is
synchronous with the video data. Video data is clocked on the
rising edge of the VCLK signal. When decoding, the VCLK
signal is typically transmitted along with video data in the
CCIR-656 physical interface.
Electrically, CCIR-656 specifies differential ECL levels to be
used for all interfaces. The ADV601, however, only supports
unipolar, TTL logic thresholds. Systems designs that interface
to strictly conforming CCIR-656 devices (especially when interfacing over long cable distances) must include ECL level shifters
and line drivers.
The functionality of HSYNC, VSYNC and FIELD Pins is
dependent on three programmable modes of the ADV601:
Master-Slave Control, Encode-Decode Control and 525-625
Control. Table IX summarizes the functionality of these pins in
various modes.
Video Formats—Philips Video
Philips video format requires 4:2:2 data (8 bits per component)
be transmitted over a two “lane” 16-bit physical interface. A
27 MHz clock is transmitted along with the data. This clock is
synchronous with the data and is running at twice the transfer
rate of the interface. The color space is YUV. VCLK is driven
with a 27 MHz 50% duty cycle clock, which is synchronous with
the video data. Philips video format requires external synchronization and blanking signals to accompany digital video. These

Video Formats — Multiplexed Philips Video
The ADV601 supports a hybrid mode of operation that is a cross
between standard dual lane Philips and single lane CCIR-656. In
this mode, video data is multiplexed in the same fashion in CCIR-656,
but the values 0 and 255 are not reserved as signaling values. Instead, external HSYNC and VSYNC pins are used for signaling
and video synchronization. VCLK may range up to 29.5 MHz.

Video Formats — Gray Scale Video
The Gray Scale video format requires 4:0:0 data (up to 12 bits)
be transmitted over a one “lane” 8- to 12-bit physical interface.
A video clock (typically 27 MHz) is transmitted along with the
data. This clock is synchronous with the data and runs at twice
the transfer rate of the interface. The color space is Gray Scale.
Because the ADV601 internal processing is not dependent on
color space, Gray Scale data is processed in the same manner as
data in other color spaces.
VCLK is driven with a 24.54 MHz–29.5 MHz, 50% duty cycle
clock which is synchronous with the video data. Video data is
clocked on the second rising edge of the VCLK signal.
These video formats require external synchronization and
blanking signals to accompany digital video. These signals are
VSYNC, HSYNC, and FIELD. In general, when the ADV601
is configured as an encoder, these signals will all be inputs.
When the ADV601 is configured as a decoder, these signals will
be outputs. There are special cases for this format described in
Table XII.
VCLK is driven with up to a 29.5 MHz 50% duty cycle clock
synchronous with the video data. Video data is clocked on the
rising edge of the VCLK signal. The functionality of HSYNC,
VSYNC, and FIELD pins is dependent on three programmable
modes of the ADV601: Master-Slave Control, Encode-Decode
Control, and 525-625 Control. Table XI summarizes the functionality of these pins in various modes.

Host Interface
The ADV601 host interface is a high performance interface that
passes all command and real-time compressed video data between the host and codec. A 512 position by 32-bit wide, bidirectional FIFO buffer passes compressed video data to and from
the host. The host interface is capable of burst transfer rates of
up to 132 million bytes per second (4 × 33 MHz). For host interface pins descriptions, see the Pin Function Descriptions section.
For host interface timing information, see the Host Interface Timing
section.
DSP Interface
The DSP Interface is used to interface with an external DSP.
During encode, the DSP provides the ADV601 with Bin Width
calculation support (in applications where the host processor is
not providing Bin Width support). When the host provides Bin
Width calculation support, the DSP is not required. During
decode, the DSP is not needed. This interface is capable of
glueless connection with all of Analog Devices DSP serial ports.
The DSP interface passes the following information (in encode
only):
• Wavelet statistics calculated by the ADV601 output to the DSP
• Compression ratio output to the DSP
• Quantizer control information (i.e., Bin Width and Reciprocal
Bin Width factors) input from the DSP
Figure 11 shows how to connect and ADV601 with a DSP.

ADV601 Serial Transfer Overview
The video statistics that the ADV601 calculates and sends to the
DSP for quantizer control calculations are as follows:
• Minimum pixel value per field per component
• Maximum pixel value per field per component
• Sum of pixel values per field per component
• Sum of squares of pixel values per Mallat block per component
• Compression Ratio (programmed by the host) per field
The ADV601 video codec can transmit video field statistics and
receive bin width values through its serial port when connected
to a DSP (an ADSP-21xx family DSP whose SPORT is set for
continuous Rx/Tx normal framing mode). This DSP-compatible
serial port has six pins: RXD, TXD, TCLK, TF, RF and DIRQ.
For DSP Interface pins descriptions, see Pin Function Descriptions.
ADV601 Serial Transfer Process
On a field by field basis, the ADV601 transfers video statistics to
the DSP and then receives bin widths from the DSP. The timing of the data flow appears in Figure 41. The steps for the data
flow are as follows:
1. The ADV601 asserts DIRQ to alert the DSP that video statistics are ready for the first field.
2. The ADV601 transfers the statistics packet of fifty-two 16-bit
words on the TXD pin using a pulse on TF to indicate the
beginning, most-significant-bit first, of each word.
The video statistics transfer for the first field occurs during
the first part of the next field. The address order of register
transfer is as follows: 0x06 (Compression Ratio), 0x80-0xA9
(Sum of Squares [0-41]), 0xAA (Sum of Luma), 0xAB (Sum
of Cb), 0xAC (Sum of Cr), 0xAD (Min Luma), 0xAE (Max
Luma), 0xAF (Min Cb), 0xB0 (Max Cb), 0xB1 (Min Cr),
and 0xB2 (Max Cr).
3. The DSP calculates bin width and reciprocal bin width values for each Mallat block, using the video statistics.
4. The DSP transfers the bin width and reciprocal bin width
packet of eighty-four 16-bit words on the ADV601’s RXD
pin using a pulse on the ADV601’s RF to indicate the beginning, most-significant-bit first, of each word.
The bin width and reciprocal bin width transfer for the first
field occurs before the end of the next field. The address
order of register transfer is as follows: 0x100 (Reciprocal Bin
Width 0), 0x101 (Bin Width 0), . . . , 0x152 (Reciprocal Bin
Width 41), 0x153 (Bin Width 41).
5. The ADV601 de-asserts DIRQ after receiving the DSP’s bin
width and reciprocal bin width packet and keeps DIRQ deasserted until the video statistics packet for the next field is
ready for transfer.
ADV601 Serial Transfer Implications
This serial I/O process between the ADV601 and the DSP continues for all fields of video. Some important implications that
stem from this process are as follows:
• Because the ADV601 asserts DIRQ near the beginning of
each video field, the signal can be useful for synchronizing
system wide operations that need to key on the beginning of
each video field.
• Because failures in serial I/O to the DSP are possible, the
DSP software times out if the video statistics packet does not
arrive within a specific time window and returns a default set
of bin width values to the ADV601.
• Because failures in serial I/O from the DSP are possible, the
ADV601 uses the bin width values from the previous field if
the DSP does not return new bin with values within a specific
time window.

DRAM Manager
The DRAM Manager provides a sorting and reordering function on the sub-band coded data between the Wavelet Kernel
and the Programmable Quantizer. The DRAM manager provides a pipeline delay stage to the ADV601. This pipeline lets
the ADV601 extract current field image statistics (min/max
pixel values, sum of pixel values, and sum of squares) used in
the calculation of Bin Widths and re-order wavelet transform
data. The use of current field statistics in the Bin Width calculation results in precise control over the compressed bit rate. The
DRAM manager manages the entire operation and refresh of the
DRAM.
The interface between the ADV601 DRAM manager and
DRAM is designed to be transparent to the user. The ADV601
DRAM pins should be connected to the DRAM as called out in
the Pin Function Descriptions section. The ADV601 requires
one 256K word by 16-bit, 60 ns DRAM. The following is a
selected list of manufacturers and part numbers. All parts can
be used with the ADV601 at all VCLK rates except where
noted. Any DRAM used with the ADV601 must meet the minimum specifications outlined for the Hyper Mode DRAMs listed
in Table XIII. For DRAM Interface pins descriptions, see the
Pin Function Descriptions.

<BW>(16 bits, 8.8)This data code is not entropy coded, is always 16 bits in length and defines the Bin
Width Quantizer control used on all data in the block sub-band. During decode, this
value is used by the Quantizer. If this value is set to zero during decode, all Huffman
data is presumed to be zero and is ignored, but must be included. During encode, this
value is calculated by the external DSP and is inserted into the bit stream by the
ADV601 (this value is not used by the quantizer). Another value calculated by the
DSP, 1/BW is actually used by the Quantizer during encode.
<HUFF_DATA> (Modulo 32)This data is the quantized and entropy coded block sub-band data. The data’s length is
dependent on block size and entropy coding so it is therefore variable in length. This
field is filled with 1s making it Modulo 32 bits in length. Any Huffman decode process

APPLYING THE ADV601
This section includes the following topics:
• Using the ADV601 in computer applications
• Using the ADV601 in standalone applications
• Configuring the host interface for 8-, 16- or 32-bit data paths
• Connecting the video interface to popular video encoders and
decoders
• Getting the most out of the ADV601
The following Analog Devices products should be considered in
ADV601 designs:
• ADV7175/ADV7176—Digital YUV to analog composite
video encoder
• AD722—Analog RGB to analog composite video encoder
• AD1843—Audio codec with embedded video synchronization
• ADSP-21xx—Family of fixed-point digital signal processors
• AD8xxx—Family of video operational amplifiers
Using the ADV601 in Computer Applications
Many key features of the ADV601 were driven by the demanding cost and performance requirements of computer applications. The following ADV601 features provide key advantages in
computer applications:
• Host Interface
The 512 double word FIFO provides necessary buffering of
compressed digital video to deal with PCI bus latency.
• Low Cost External DRAM
Unlike many other real-time compression solutions, the
ADV601 does not require expensive external SRAM transform buffers or VRAM frame stores.
Using the ADV601 In Standalone Applications
Figure 15 shows how to connect the ADV601 in noncomputer
based applications. In this case, an ADSP-2105 (low cost DSP)
performs BW calculations and an ASIC controls the ADV601
though the host interface. Because the ADSP-2105 calculates
BW during the vertical retrace period each field, most of the
DSP’s computational bandwidth is available for other functions
such as audio compression or communication. BW software for
the entire family of Analog Devices’ 16-bit DSPs (including the
ADSP-2105) will be available at no cost from Analog Devices.
Figure 16 shows the ADV601 in another noncomputer based
applications. Here, an ADSP-21csp01 provides Host control
and BW calculation services. Note that all control and BW
operations occur over the host interface in this design.
Connecting the ADV601 to Popular Video Decoders and
Encoders
The following circuits are recommendations only. Analog
Devices has not actually built or tested these circuits.
Using the Brooktree Bt819A Video Decoder
Brooktree has three video decoder parts, the 819A, 817A and
815A. Only the 819A has an output FIFO. Because Brooktree
parts must sample at 8xFsc, this FIFO is needed to resynchronize
output data to the ADV601 data rates.
According to the Brooktree data sheet, the Mode B Asynchronous Pixel Interface (API) must be used to give a continuous
stream of active and blanked data as required by the ADV601.
An external circuit is used to generate RDEN (read enable) pin
input for the Bt819A, and the ADV601 VCLKO signal must be
divided by two; either with an external circuit (as shown) or by
setting the VCLK2 bit in the Mode Control register.

Raytheon has a whole family of video parts. Any member of the

on the requirements of the application. Because the Raytheon
part does not include the A/Ds, an external A/D is necessary in
this design (or a pair of A/Ds for S␣ video).
The part can be used in CCIR-656 (D1) mode for a zero control signal interface or can be used with the more traditional
HSYNC, VSYNC and FIELD signals used for a Philips style
interface. Special attention must be paid to the video output
modes in order to get the right data to the right pins (see the

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF ADV601
The unique sub-band block structure of luminance and color
components in the ADV601 offers many unique application
benefits. Analog Devices will offer a Feature Software Library as
well as separate feature application documentation to help users
exploit these features. The following section provides an overview of only some of the features and how they are achieved with
the ADV601. Please refer to Figures 2 and 3 as necessary.
Higher Compression With Interfield Techniques
The ADV601 normally operates as a field-independent codec.
However, through use of the sub-bands it is possible to use the
ADV601 with interfield techniques to achieve even higher levels
of compression. In such applications, each field is not compressed separately, thus accessing the compressed bit stream
can only be done at specific points in time. There are two general ways this can be accomplished:
• Subsampling high frequency blocks
The human visual system is more sensitive to interframe
motion of low frequency block than to motion in high frequency blocks. The host software driver of the ADV601
allows exploitation of this option to achieve higher compression. Note that the compressed bit stream can only be
accessed at points where the high frequency blocks have just
been updated.
• Updating the image with motion detection
In applications where the video is likely to have no motion for
extended periods of time (video surveillance in a vacant building, for instance), it is only necessary to update the image
either periodically or when motion occurs. By using the wavelet sub-bands to detect motion (see later in this section), it is
possible to achieve very high levels of compression when
motion is infrequent.
Scalable Compression Technology
The ADV601 offers many different options for scaling the image, the compressed bit stream bandwidth and the processing
horsepower for encode or decode. Because the ADV601 employs decimators, interpolators and filters in the filter bank,
the scaling function creates much higher quality images than
achieved through pixel dropping. Mixing and matching the
many scaling options is useful in network applications where
transmission pipes may vary in available bit rate, and decode/
encode capabilities may be a mix of software and hardware.
These are the key options:
• Extract scaled images by factors of 2 from the compressed bit stream
This is useful in video editing applications where thumbnail
sketches of fields need to be displayed. In this case, editing
software can quickly extract and decode the desired image.
This technique eliminates the burden of decoding an entire
image and then scaling to the desired size.
• Use software to decode bit stream
Decoding an entire CCIR-601 resolution image in real time at
50/60 fields per second does require the ADV601 hardware.
Analog Devices provides a bit-exact ADV601 simulator that
can decode a scaled image in real time or a full-size image offline. Image size and frame rates depend on the performance
of the host processor.
• Scale bit stream
The compressed video bit stream was created with simple
parsing in mind. This type of parsing means that a lower
resolution/lower bandwidth bit stream can be extracted with
little computational burden. Generally, this effect is accomplished by selecting a subset of lower frequency blocks. This
technique is useful in applications where the same video
source material must be sent over a range of different communication pipes {i.e., ISDN p(128 Kbps), T1 (1.5 Mpbs) or
T3 (45 Mbps)}.
• Use software to encode
In this case, a host CPU could encode a smaller image size
and fill in high frequency blocks with zeros. Again, image
quality would depend on the performance of the host. The
Bin Width may be set to zero, zeroing out the data in any
particular Mallat block.
Parametric Image Filtering
The ADV601 offers a unique set of image filtering capabilities
not found in other compression technologies. The ADV601
quantizer is capable of attenuating any or all of the luminance or
chrominance blocks during encode or decode. Here are some of
the possible applications:
• Parametric softening of color saturation and contrast during encode
or decode
Trade off image softness for higher compression. Attenuation
of the higher frequency blocks during encode leads to softer
images, but it can lead to much higher compression performance.
• Color saturation control
This effect is achieved by controlling gain of low pass chrominance blocks during encode or decode.
• Contrast control
This effect is achieved by controlling the gain of the low frequency luminance blocks during encode or decode.
• Fade to black
This effect achieved by attenuation of luminance blocks.
Mixing of Two or More Images
Blocks from different images can be mixed into the bit stream
and then sent to the ADV601 during decode. The result is high
quality mixing of different images. This also provides the capability to fade from one image to the next.
Edge or Motion Detection
In certain remote video surveillance and machine vision applications, it is desirable to detect edges or motion. Edges can be
quickly found through evaluation of the high frequency blocks.
Motion searches can be achieved in two ways:
• Evaluation of the smallest luminance block. Because the size
of the smallest block is from 20 × 15 pixels (for square pixel
NTSC) to 24 × 18 pixels (square pixel PAL), the computational burden is significantly less than doing an evaluation
over the entire image.
• Polling the Sum of Squares registers. Because large changes in
the video data create patterns, it is possible to detect motion
in the video by polling the Sum of Squares registers, looking
for patterns and changes.

The diagrams in this section show transfer timing for host read and write accesses to all of the ADV601’s direct registers, except the
Compressed Data register. Accesses to the Indirect Address, Indirect Register Data, and Interrupt Mask/Status registers are slower
than access timing for the Compressed Data register. For information on access timing for the Compressed Data direct register, see
the Host Interface (Compressed Data) Register Timing section. Note that for accesses to the Indirect Address, Indirect Register
Data and Interrupt Mask/Status registers, your system MUST observe ACK and RD or WR assertion timing.

ADV601
Host Interface (Compressed Data) Register Timing
The diagrams in this section show transfer timing for host read and write transfers to the ADV601’s Compressed Data register. Accesses to the Compressed Data register are faster than access timing for the Indirect Address, Indirect Register Data, and Interrupt
Mask/Status registers. For information on access timing for the other registers, see the Host Interface (Indirect Address, IndirectRegister Data, and Interrupt Mask/Status) Register Timing section. Also note that as long as your system observes the RD or WR
signal assertion timing, your system does NOT have to wait for the ACK signal between new compressed data addresses.

ADV601
DSP Interface Timing
The diagram in this section shows transfer timing for one set of video statistics and calculated bin widths as they pass through the
ADV601’s DSP interface. Whenever an ADV601’s serial port is inactive, the codec’s TXD pin is three-stated and the codec ignores
the state of the RXD pin. Figure 41 illustrates the ADV601 serial interface’s signal, sample and frame relationships for the transmit
and receive modes.
