ML6460
CCIR656 NTSC Video Encoder with Macrovision
®
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML6460 is a multi-standard CCIR656 (4:2:2) video
(input) composite and S-video (outputs) encoder for NTSC
systems. It is designed to provide a low cost, single-chip
output interface for a variety of video applications
including set-top decoders, DVD players, and other YCrCb
to Y/C equipment.
The ML6460 accepts 8-bit YCrCb video in either CCIR656
or Square Pixel format and generates analog Y, C and CV
waveforms complete with Macrovision® copy protection
technology and Closed Caption encoding.
The ML6460 includes output analog reconstruction filters,
phase equalizer, and 6dB (2X gain) drivers. Gain scaling,
sync, and Y+C mixing are performed at the output of the
relevant 10-bit DAC, eliminating the gain mapping stages
that require additional DAC bits. The result is Y SNR and
granularity remain precisely the same as the source.
The ML6460 supports both master and slave timing
operations. S-Video and multiple composite signals can
be driven simultaneously into 75Ω loads.
