The 9-bit video input processor is a combination of a two-channel analog preprocessing circuit including source selection, anti-aliasing filter and ADC, an automatic clamp and gain control, a Clock Generation Circuit (CGC), a digital multistandard decoder (PAL BGHI, PAL M, PAL N, combination PAL N, NTSC M, NTSC-Japan, NTSC N and SECAM), a brightness, contrast and saturation control circuit, a multistandard VBI data slicer and a 27 MHz VBI data bypass. The pure 3.3 V CMOS circuit SAA7113H, analog front-end and digital video decoder, is a highly integrated circuit for desktop video applications. The decoder is based on the principle of line-locked clock decoding and is able to decode the color of PAL, SECAM and NTSC signals into ITU-R BT 601 compatible color component values. The SAA7113H accepts as analog inputs CVBS or S-video (Y/C) from TV or VTR sources. The circuit is I2C-bus controlled. The integrated high performance multistandard data slicer supports several VBI data standards: • Teletext 625 lines: WST (World Standard Teletext) and CCST (Chinese teletext) • Teletext 525 lines: US-WST, NABTS (North-American Broadcast Text System) and MOJI (Japanese teletext) • Closed caption: Europe and US (line 21) • Wide Screen Signalling (WSS) • Video Programming Signal (VPS) • Time codes (VITC EBU/SMPTE) • High-speed VBI data bypass for Intercast application.
