VPC3230 : This functions as a video decoder, which can receive all of the YC, YUV, CVBS inputs.
In addition, this converts Y/C into YUV after receiving 3D Comb Output Y/C, S-Vido Y/C, and DVD YUV.
VIDEO DOUBLER : Usually, the current video image adopts the INTERLACE Scanning system and it has poor video because of
Flicking on the screen. Using the SDA9400 , INTERLACE is converted into PROGRESSIVE in order to
improve the quality of video.
VIDEO PROCESSOR : Since the HD modes like 1920*1080I have higher video bandwidth than the existing video signals, the
ordinary decoder like VPC3230 can't handle those modes. PC has higher bandwidth of video signal than
TV and the RGB video format.
Therefore, if the HD signal can be converted into the RGB signals, the TV video signal can have the same
processing as the PC VIDEO signal. CXA2101 developed by SONY is used to convert YPbPr into RGB.
CXA2101 converts both DTV signals and all the SD signals processed in the sequence of SDA9400 then
SDA9280 into RGB.
This processor performs some user control functions, such as tint, color, and sharpness.
Also, it controls high light gains low light offsets when doing white balance adjustments.
ANALOG SWITCH : The video decoder like VPC3230 has a built-in video switch that assigns one signal out of various
received inputs, though most of ICs for PC are designed so that they support only one source because of
less necessity of simultaneously processing the multi inputs. To process the input source of MULTI
(PC&HD), therefore, a function of selecting an input should be externally added; as is performed by
ROHM's BA7657F. PW364 transmits a signal determining which input is selected.
ADC : A device that converts the input RGB signals into the 8bit DIGITAL RGB signals.
In case of white balance adjustments, this device sets the color temperature by controlling R/B gains and
R/B offsets.
PW364 : PW364 is a multi-functional scaler which one chip has video signal scaling, 8086 CPU, 4M BYTE VIDEO
MEMORY functions. The PC and Video input signals are received from GRAPHIC PORT and VIDEO PORT,
respectively.Its main functions include UP/DOWN SCALING, PIP, ZOOM, GAMMA CORRECTION,
Compensation of GEOMETRIC DISTORTION, powerful GRAPHIC OSD.
FIRMWARE : Mounted is a software that is used for system control by operating 8086 built in PW364. A 4MBIT FLASH
ROM is mainly used, but one up to 8MBIT can be used according to PROGRAM and capacity of OSD
DATA.
The system is easy to maintain because programming can be re-done at any yime using the FLASH ROM.
