input format
The ‘AV410/411 accepts digital input signals in RGB or YCbCr formats. For YCbCr format, the user may select
between two different modes. A multiplexed 8-bit YCbCr mode is available (similar to CCIR 656), as well as a
multiplexed 16-bit YCbCr mode. Video and overlay signals are input subject to the timing conditions illustrated
in Figure 15 and Figure 16.
IMOD0 determines the manner in which input signal levels are processed. When IMOD0 is 0, a value of 16 is
processed as black level, and a value of 235 is processed as 100% white level. When IMOD0 is 1, a value of
0 is processed as black level, and a value of 240 is processed as 100% white level. Both cases are shown in
Figure 1.

color signal cutoff frequency select
When output is YC composite, the chroma signal is restricted to the frequency band by the low-pass filter. On
the ’AV410/411, cutoff frequency is selected using the FLTMD pin or the FLTMD bit in the VID0 register. When
FLTMD is set to L, cutoff frequency is 1.5 MHz; when FLTMD is set to H, cutoff frequency is 3 MHz.
internal/external synchronization
When the EXTEN pin is low, the ’AV410/411 operates in internal synchronization mode. The system clock must
be input to OSCIN or CLKBIN. The HSYNC and VSYNC terminals are outputs. CLK0 will output a 27-MHz or
28.6-MHz clock. When EXTEN is high, the ’AV410/411 operates in external synchronization mode. In this mode
HSYNC, VSYNC, and CLK0 are inputs. In external synchronization mode, HSYNC is active for the falling edge
of the input signal, and VSYNC is active for the rising edge. The EVEN and CSYNC signals are output for internal
and external synchronization modes. EVEN is the field signal where a low level indicates odd-field and a high
level indicates even-field. Figure 21 shows the relationship between EVEN and the video output signals for
NTSC and PAL.
