FLI2300
Digital Video Format Converter
Product Brief
March 2003, document C0702-PBR-01B
The FLI2300 is a highly integrated digital video
format converter for DTV and DVD applications
using patented deinterlacing and post processing
algorithms from Faroudja
®
, coupled with highly
flexible scaling, a wide variety of aspect ratio
conversions, and other special video enhancing
features to produce the highest quality image.
INPUTS –
• Input all industry standard and non-standard
video resolutions, including 480i (NTSC), 576i
(PAL/SECAM), 480p, 720p, 1080i, and VGA to
SXGA
• Digital input, 8-bit Y/Cr/Cb (ITU-R BT656), 8-bit
Y/Pr/Pb, 16-bit Y Cr/Cb (ITU-R BT601), 24-bit
RGB, YCrCb, YPrPb
• Input pixel rate up to 75 MHz maximum
OUTPUTS –
• Output resolutions include 480p, 576i, 576p,
720p, 1080i, 1080p, and VGA to SXGA
• Output supports analog RGB, YPrPb, YCrCb,
and digital RGB, YPrPb, 4:4:4 YCrCb, 4:2:2
YCr/Cb
DEINTERLACING –
• Per-pixel Motion Adaptive Deinterlacing
• Patented FilmMode Processing - Used for
proper de-interlacing of 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown
material.
• Edit Correction - Film content is continuously
monitored for any break in sequence caused by
“bad edits” and quickly compensates for the
most effective reduction in artifacts.
• DCDi™ by Faroudja - Video is analyzed on a
single pixel granularity to detect presence or
absence of angled lines and edges, which are
then processed to produce a smooth & natural
looking image without visible artifacts or
“jaggies”.
SCALING –
• Interlaced or Progressive output
• Output can be either analog YUV/RGB (through
the integrated 10-bit DAC), or digital 24-bit
RGB, YCrCb, YPrPb (4:4:4), or digital 16/20-bit
Y Cr/Cb (4:2:2)
• Output pixel rate up to 150 MHz maximum
FRONT END PROCESSING –
• Motion Adaptive Noise Reduction - Improves
picture quality for off-air material.
• Cross Color Suppressor (CCS) - Removes
cross color artifacts in composite video signals
due to poor Y/C separation in standard 2D
video decoders, eliminating the need for
expensive 3D video decoders.
FORMATS –
• Input color manipulation matrix supports all
color spaces: RGB, YPrPb, 4:4:4 YCrCb, 4:2:2
YCr/Cb, ITU-R BT656, ITU-R BT601
• High Quality Fully Programmable Two
Dimensional Scaler
• Aspect Ratio Conversion for “Anamorphic” or
“Panoramic” (non-linear)
• Display 4:3 images on 16:9 displays and vice
versa, including Letterbox to Fullscreen,
Pillarbox, and Subtitle Display Modes
FRC –
• Tearless Frame Rate Conversion,
50/60/72/75/100/120 Hz.
MEMORY –
• 32-bit wide SDRAM (i.e. one 2Mx32bit, or two
1Mx16bit), up to 166 MHz operation
SPECIFICATIONS –
• 2-Wire control interface
• 0.18u technology, 1.8V/3.3V operation
• 208 pin PQFP package
• 525P Macrovision output option (FLI2301 part)
