Description
The STV6419 is a highly integrated I2C buscontrolled audio and video switch matrix,
optimized for use in digital set-top box or DVD
recorder applications. It provides the audio and
video routings (CVBS and RGB) required in a
non-full two SCART set-top box design.
The STV6419 is a fully integrated solution for
filtering and buffering SD signals.

Introduction STV6419
1 Introduction
The STV6419 is an I2C-controlled integrated circuit for switching, filtering and buffering
audio and video signals in any dual, non-full SCART application. It can be used in products
such as SD and HD set-top boxes or DVD/BD players and recorders for European markets.
It can be connected to four video DAC outputs of an MPEG decoder, allowing simultaneous
switching and driving of the composite and RGB signals, or the S-video signal only, to the
TV SCART output, as well as the composite signal to the VCR SCART output. Further, the
device provides the switching of the composite and RGB signals, or the S-video signals
only, from the VCR SCART to the TV SCART.
The STV6419 manages the slow blanking and fast blanking signalling through the I
The STV6419 provides the minimum required set of features to support the dual-SCART
connector with significant cost reduction over existing solutions (such as STV6417 or
competition) and in line with a price-sensitive, soon-to-be-phased-out legacy topology, for
which set-top box manufacturers are no longer willing to pay a premium.
The STV6419 is one of the family of five, pin-compatible products (Figure 1) that complete
the new generation of audio and video switches and buffers from STMicroelectronics.
Together they cover, both technically and price-wise, the whole market spectrum from
mid-range SD retail (zapper set-top boxes or basic recorders) up to DVR HD operators
(set-top boxes or recorders with SD component output).
