Color Space converter & Chroma Resampler- 4:4:4 RGB to 4:2:2 Y’CbCr

Overview

The DB1825 Color Space Converter & Chroma Resampler Verilog IP Core transforms 4:4:4 sampled RGB color components to 4:4:4 Y’CbCr color space followed by Chroma Resampling to 4:2:2 sampled Y’CbCr color components.

Figure 1 depicts the DB1825 Color Space Converter (CSC) & Chroma Resampler (CR) IP Core embedded within an integrated circuit device. Control & Status, including the CSC transforms coefficients and the CR decimating filters coefficients, can be programmed into optional DB1825 registers via a bus interface, or set as non-register fixed parameters at synthesis for a smaller VLSI footprint.
