1.3. VPC Applications
Fig. 1–2 depicts several VPC applications. Since the
VPC functions as a video front-end, it must be comple-
mented with additional functionality to form a complete
TV s et.
The DDP 331x cont ains the video back-end wi th vid eo
postprocessing (contrast, peaking, CTI,...), H/V-deflec-
tion, RGB insertion (SCART, Text, PIP,...) and tube
control (cutoff, white-drive, beam current limiter). It
generates a beam scan velocity modulation output
from the digital YCrCb and RGB signals. Note, that this
signal is not generated from the external analog RGB
inputs.
The component interface of the VPC 323xD provides a
high-quality analog RGB interface with c haracter inser-
tion capability. It also allows appropria te processing of
external sources, such as MPEG-2 set-top boxes in
transparent (4:2:2) quality. Furthermore, it transforms
RGB/Fast Blank signals to the common digital video
bus a nd makes t hose signals avail able for 100-Hz up-
conversion or double-scan processing. In some
European countries (Italy), this feature is manda tory.
SRC (e. g. SDA 94xx from Micronas) indicates mem-
ory based image processing, such as scan rate con-
version, vertical processing (Zoom), or PAL+ recon-
struction. The VPC supports memory-based
applications through line-locked clocks, syncs, and
data. A dditionally, the VPC 323xD provid es a 656-ou t-
put interface and FIFO control signals.
Examples:
– Europe: 15 kHz/50 Hz → 32 kHz/100 Hz interlaced
– US: 15 kHz/60 Hz → 32 k Hz/ 60 Hz non-interlaced
