RGB to CCIR 601 / 656 Encoder

Overview

The Digital Blocks DB1892AXI RGB to CCIR 601 / CCIR 656 Encoder interfaces RGB data along with synchronization signals from a LCD Controller such as Digital Blocks' DB9000 TFT LCD Controller (or any LCD display timing & control unit) to a TFT LCD Panel by-way-of a CCIR 601 / CCIR 656 interface.

The DB1892AXI contains a RGB to YCbCr Color Space Converter, 4:4:4 to 4:2:2 Chroma Resampler, and BT.656 Encoder to transform & drive LCD panels with CCIR 601 / CCIR 656 interfaces.

Key Features

  • The DB1892 performs the following video signal processing functions:
  • Color Space Converter - Inputs RGB 24-bit data and sync signals VSYNC, HSYNC, & Date Enable from a LCD Controller. The Color Space Converter converts the 4:4:4 sampled RGB pixels to component luma and chroma digital video 4:4:4 YCbCr.
  • Chroma Resampler - The Chroma Resampler down converts the 4:4:4 YCbCr to 4:2:2 YCbCr, in order to meet the ITU-R BT.601 requirements of the ITURBT. 656 Encoder.
  • BT.656 Encoder - Encodes the 4:2:2 YCbCr component digital video with synch signals to conform to the ITU-RBT.656 digital coding standard.

Benefits

  • The DB1892 RGB to CCIR 601 / 656 Encoder is a system-level IP integrating the Color Space Converter, Chroma Resampler, & BT.656 Encoder functions for full transformation from the RGB color space to the BT.656 4:2:2 Y’CbCr color space & BT.656 framing. The DB1892 supports the following bus interfaces for configuration:
  • AMBA 2.0 AHB Master, AHB Slave
  • AMBA 1.0 AXI , AXI4
  • CoreConnect PLB, OPB
  • Avalon, Qsys
  • OCP 2.2
  • PCI
  • Hard-coded parameters requiring no bus fabric interface
