FEATURES

Display

• 50/60 Hz PIP modes possible

• Twin PIP in interlaced mode at 8-bit resolution

• Sub-title mode features built in

• Large display fine positioning area, both channels independent

• Only 2 Mbit needed as external VDRAM (2 × 1 Mbit or 1 × 2 Mbit)

• Four 8-bit Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs; > 7-bit performance) with clamp circuit

• Most PIP modes handle interlaced pictures without joint line error

• Two PLLs which generate the line-locked clocks for the acquisition channels

• Display PLL to generate line-locked clock for the display

• Three 8-bit Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs)

• 4 : 1 : 1 data format

• Data reduction factors 1 to 1, 1 to 2, 1 to 3 and 1 to 4, horizontal and vertical independent.

I2C-bus programmable

• Single and double PIP modes can be set
