FLI2310
Digital Video Format Converter
Product Brief
March 2003, document C0702-PBR-01B
The FLI2310 is a highly integrated digital video
format converter for Flat Panel TV and digital
projectors. It uses 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
• Interlaced or Progressive output
• Output is digital 24-bit RGB, YCrCb, YPrPb
(4:4:4), or 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
• Output supports 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 –
• 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.
SPECIFICATIONS –
• 2-Wire control interface
• 0.18u technology, 1.8V/3.3V operation
• 208 pin PQFP package
MEMORY –
• 32-bit wide SDRAM (i.e. one 2Mx32bit, or
two 1Mx16bit), up to 166 MHz operation
