In cases where VCRs are used in Pause, Fast Forward or
Fast Reverse, lines are typically dropped or added by the
VCR. In a worst case scenario a VCR line tolerance will vary
by ±8%. The standard detect logic checks the line count
against the given standard to determine an error. VCRs in
trick mode cannot cause a standard error. With an NTSC
standard VCR the number of lines in a field should not
exceed 285. Greater than 285 lines in a field is interpreted
as a PAL video source. An ideal NTSC source should have
262.5 lines per field and a PAL source should have 312.5
lines per field.
This value must be loaded to correctly separate and decode
the video signal. A default Chroma PLL Value is used after a
system RESET is applied. The default assumes a CLK of
27MHz and NTSC as the video standard. The default value
is 0.5302895. An ideal 4xf
NTSC and 1135 for PAL.
line should have 910 pixels for

The Output Sample rate converter is locked to the horizontal
line frequency and is used to spatially align pixels in a field.
The LOCKED flag signals when the phase locked loop is
within a ±4 pixel range of the horizontal sync edge. When
line errors exceed that range the LOCKED flag is cleared.
The HMP8112 can detect a STANDARD Error that signals
when the video received does not match the standard that
was programmed into the Video Input Control Register. This
