digital infotainment products Bt864A /865A Digital Video Encoder High Performance YCrCb to NTSC/PAL Digital Video Encoders Conexant’s Bt864A and Bt865A are designed for video systems that require the generation of high-quality composite, Y/C (S-video) or RGB (SCART) video signals from an 8- or 16-bit YCrCb video stream. Worldwide video standards are supported, including NTSC-M (N. America, Taiwan, Japan), PAL-B,D,G,H,I (Europe, Asia), PAL-M (Brazil), PAL-N (Uruguay, Paraguay), and PAL-Nc (Argentina). The Bt864A and Bt865A are pin-compatible and functionally identical, except the Bt865A can also output the Macrovision™ version 7 anticopy algorithm. Either master or slave mode operation may be implemented to provide the highest video performance when interfaced with any MPEG decoder. CCIR 601 or square pixel video signals may be input to provide maximum flexibility in the system architecture. Distinguishing Features The Bt864A/865A and other Conexant video encoders have been designed into numerous high-performance and high-volume • 8- or 16-bit 4:2:2 YCrCb inputs consumer applications worldwide.

Functional block diagram What is a Video Encoder? A video encoder is an electronic integrated circuit (chip) that delivers the signal to your television from a DVD or video CD player, LaserDisc player, cable or satellite TV set- top box, digital camera, video conferencing system, Internet browser or personal computer (PC). It is the chip that makes everyone’s favorite shows look bright, Analog luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) information is available on the Y and C outputs for interfacing to S-video equipment. The composite analog video signal is output simultaneously onto two outputs. This enables two simultaneous crisp, colorful and clear. With today’s new digital video systems,TV pictures can look their best when showing movies and sports from DVD and TV set-top boxes. baseband composite video signals, or one output, to provide baseband composite video while the other drives an RF modulator. Programmable luminance delay (single-channel) permits the synchronization of both luminance and chrominance Video encoder chips today have the functions of four separate chips integrated into one single chip. These chips when video is transmitted to a television monitor via an RF modulator. Analog RGB is also available to allow for support of the European SCART/PeriTV interface. A two-wire teletext take the digital video information which is stored on DVD discs or digital camera memory cards, or transmitted to a (WST-B) interface is also included in the Bt864A/865A. satellite dish TV receiver or cable tuner box, and convert it Macrovision anticopy circuitry is included in the Bt865A to support DVD and newer set-top box services. The Bt864A is pin into the “old-fashioned” type of signal a TV requires. The video encoder converts digital bits into analog electrical and function compatible with the Bt865A to permit video design and testing for applications that do require Macrovision circuitry and those that do not. I2C Interface signals, which tell the TV what colors should be shown on the screen and how bright or dark they should be. Better quality video encoder chips produce better quality video Bt864A/865A registers are accessed via a two-wire Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) interface. Serial clock and data lines (SCL and SDA) are used to transfer data at a rate of 100 Kbps. These lines are used to access and program the internal registers of the device, and make the images seem more lifelike and exciting. Video encoder technology has improved rapidly in recent years, allowing people to connect a variety of different video including the Macrovision registers of the Bt865A. Deactivation of I2C communication is possible by asserting sleep or reset modes. Implementation The Bt864A/865A is packaged in a 52-pin Plastic Quad Flat devices to their TVs and create the home entertainment systems of their dreams. These relatively inexpensive devices are one of the most critical components of modern Pack (PQFP) with a 14 mm x 14 mm body size. It requires video systems, and they have found widespread usage in only a minimum of discrete passive support components. It is ideal for low-cost and high-performance video systems and consumer electronics. business, home office, medical, security, professional video studios, and all types of consumer video applications. features Product Features Applications • 8- or 16-bit 4:2:2 YCrCb inputs • NTSC-M/PAL/PAL-M/PAL-N/PAL-Nc composite video outputs • S-video/RGB (SCART) outputs • CCIR 601 or square pixel operation • 2x oversampling • 10-bit DACs • Master or slave video timing • Auto mode detection function (slave mode) • Interlaced/noninterlaced operation • Macrovision 7 support (Bt865A only) • Closed caption encoding • Teletext encoding (WST system B) • I2C interface • On-board voltage reference • Power-down modes • 52-pin PQFP package • Programmable luma delay (single-channel) • 3.3V or 5V supply voltage • VARIS-II (16:9) aspect ratio support • • • • • • • • and specifications Digital cable systems Satellite television set-top boxes (DBS/DSS) DVD players Video CD players Digital cameras Video conferencing systems PC add-on cards PC video editing Related Products • Bt835 • Bt852 • Bt856/857 • Bt860/861 • Bt866/867 • Bt868/869 Further Information [email protected] 1-800-854-8099 (North America) 33-14-906-3980 (International) DI.PB07 98-6221 Digital Infotainment Printed in USA China Phone: (86 2) 6361 2515 Fax: (86 2) 6361 2516 Web Site www.conexant.com India Phone: (91 11) 692 4780 Fax: (91 11) 692 4712 Hong Kong Phone: (852) 2827 0181 Fax: (852) 2827 6488 World Headquarters Conexant Systems, Inc. 4311 Jamboree Road P.
