2.5.2 Columbus
This block provides the following picture improvement functions:
• Enhanced 2D comb for PAL and NTSC.
• 3D field comb for PAL and NTSC.
• 3D frame comb for PAL and NTSC.
• Spatial noise reduction for all component video standards.
• Temporal noise reduction for all component video standards.
The comb filter is controlled via a separate I
2
C interface on the PNX2015, this is to ensure
registers containing measurement are accessed at appropriate times. The measurement
information is also available as ancillary data within the video stream (ITU-656).
For certain features of the comb filter access to external memory is required. The
PNX2015 has a unified memory that both comb filter and HD subsystem’s share
concurrently.
A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 140
.
2.5.3 HD subsystem (High Definition)
The HD subsystem performs MPEG video decoding for up to MP@HL streams. It
interfaces with PNX8550 and video coprocessor via tunnel interfaces (high bandwidth, low
pin count interface), HD/SD video using DV4 and DV5 inputs and PNX8550 using DV1,
DV2 and DV3 outputs.
The HD subsystem can also perform horizontal and vertical scaling of video images, and
perform a range of video measurements on a stream.
A functional block diagram of the HD subsystem is shown in Figure 164
.
2.5.4 LVDS transmission interface
The LVDS transmission interface connects to compatible LCD and flat panel displays. The
block uses the LVDS technology as per the TIA/EIA standard. The protocol for video
output encoding is selectable and can be THineâ„¢ or Nationalâ„¢ semiconductors format.
The following features are supported in the LVDS transmitter IP:
• Single-link transmission of RGB video pixel data.
Up to 30 bits of RGB pixel data, synchronization signals (HS and VS), data valid
indication signal (DE), and up to two user-defined control bits (UD1 and UD2) sampled
at the input using a 13.5 MHz to 86 MHz input clock.
• Transmission of two user defined control bits with four selectable values for each bit.
• Either 30, 24 or 18 bpp (i.e. 10, 8 or 6 bits-per-component) selectable video data
transmission formats.
• Selectable polarity for the data valid (DE) input signal - programmable high or low
level to designate (qualify) active video data.
• Support for selectable output transmission formats:
