HMP8156
NTSC/PAL Encoder
August 1997
Features
Description
• (M) NTSC and (B, D, G, H, I, M, N, CN) PAL Operation
• ITU-R BT.601 and Square Pixel Operation
The HMP8156 NTSC and PAL encoder is designed for use
in systems requiring the generation of high-quality NTSC
and PAL video from digital image data.
• Digital Input Formats
- 4:2:2 YCbCr
YCbCr or RGB digital video data drive the P0-P23 inputs.
Overlay inputs are processed and the data is 2x upsampled.
The Y data is optionally lowpass filtered to 5MHz and drives
the Y analog output. Cb and Cr are each lowpass filtered to
1.3MHz, quadrature modulated, and summed. The result
drives the C analog output. The digital Y and C data are also
added together and drive the two composite analog outputs.
- 8-Bit or 16-Bit
- 4:4:4 RGB
- 16-Bit (5, 6, 5) or 24-Bit (8, 8, 8)
- Linear or Gamma-Corrected
- 8-Bit Parallel ITU-R BT.656
- Seven Overlay Colors
The YCbCr data may also be converted to RGB data to drive
the DACs, allowing support for the European SCART con-
nector.
• Analog Output Formats
- Y/C + Two Composite
The DACs can drive doubly-terminated (37.5Ω) lines, and
run at a 2x oversampling rate to simplify the analog output
filter requirements.
- RGB + Composite (SCART)
• Flexible Video Timing Control
- Timing Master or Slave
