3.6.3 System Block Diagrams
The CX25870/871 can be designed into any system that requires analog standard
definition television outputs (NTSC/PAL/SECAM/SCART) or high definition
television outputs (YPBPR/HD RGB) based on a digital RGB or YCrCb set of
inputs.
The following system block diagrams are meant to illustrate several common
applications which presently utilize the CX25870/871 encoder.
