Description
The TVP5160 device is a high quality, digital video decoder that digitizes and decodes all popular baseband
analog video formats into digital component video. The TVP5160 decoder supports the A/D conversion of
component YPbPr and RGB (SCART) signals, as well as the A/D conversion and decoding of NTSC, PAL,
and SECAM composite and S-Video into component YCbCr. Additionally, component progressive signals can
be digitized. The chip includes two 11-bit, 60-MSPS, A/D converters (ADCs). Prior to each ADC, each analog
channel contains an analog circuit, which clamps the input to a reference voltage and applies a programmable
gain and offset. A total of 12 video input terminals can be configured to a combination of YPbPr, RGB, CVBS,
and S-Video video inputs.
Progressive component signals are sampled at 2x clock frequency (54 MHz) and are then decimated to the
1x rate. In SCART mode the component inputs and the CVBS inputs are sampled at 54 MHz alternately, then
decimated to the 1x rate. Composite or S-Video signals are sampled at 4x the ITU-R BT.601 clock frequency
(54 MHz), line-locked for correct pixel alignment, and are then decimated to the 1x rate. CVBS decoding
utilizes advanced 3D Y/C filtering and 2-dimensional complementary 5-line adaptive comb filtering for both
the luma and chroma data paths to reduce both cross-luma and cross-chroma artifacts. 3D Y/C color
separation may be used on both PAL and NTSC video signals. A chroma trap filter is also available. On CVBS
and Y/C inputs, the user can control video characteristics such as hue, contrast, brightness, and saturation
via an I2C host port interface. Furthermore, luma peaking with programmable gain is included, as well as a
patented color transient improvement (CTI) circuit. Attenuation at higher frequencies or asymmetrical color
subcarrier sidebands are compensated using the IF compensation block. Frame adaptive noise reduction
may be applied to reduce temporal noise on CVBS, S-Video, or component inputs.
3D noise reduction and 3D Y/C separation may be used at the same time or independently.
The TVP5160 decoder utilizes Texas Instruments’ patented technology for locking to weak, noisy, or unstable
signals and can auto-detect between broadcast quality and VCR-style (nonstandard) video sources.
The TVP5160 decoder generates synchronization, blanking, field, active video window, horizontal and vertical
syncs, clock, genlock (for downstream video encoder synchronization), host CPU interrupt and programmable
logic I/O signals, in addition to digital video outputs.
The TVP5160 decoder includes methods for advanced vertical blanking interval (VBI) data retrieval. The VBI
data processor (VDP) slices and performs error checking on teletext, closed caption, and other VBI data. A
built-in FIFO stores up to 11 lines of teletext data, and, with proper host port synchronization, full-screen
teletext retrieval is possible. The TVP5160 decoder can pass through the output formatter 2x sampled raw
Luma data for host-based VBI processing.
Digital RGB overlay can be synchronously switched with any video input, with all signals being oversampled
at 4x the pixel rate.
The TVP5160 detailed functionality includes:
Two high-speed, 60-MSPS, 11-bit, A/D channels with programmable clamp and gain control
The two ADCs can sample CVBS or S-Video at 54 MHz. YPbPr/RGB is multiplexed between the two ADCs
which sample at 54 MHz giving a channel sampling frequency of 27 MHz.
Supports ITU-R BT.601 pixel sampling frequencies.
Supports ITU-R BT.601 sampling for both interlaced and progressive signals.
