FLI2301

Digital Video Format Converter

Product Brief

March 2003, document C0702-PBR-02B

The FLI2301 is a highly integrated digital video
format converter for progressive scan DVD and
STB 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 –

• Accepts 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

• 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.

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 –

• High Quality Fully Programmable Two
Dimensional Scaler

• 525P Macrovision and CGMS-A (NTSC) output
support

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

• Output supports analog RGB, YPrPb, YCrCb,
and digital RGB, YPrPb, 4:4:4 YCrCb, 4:2:2
YCr/Cb

• 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
