Additionally, a delay of –1 to 2 clocks between the Fast
Blank signal and the RGB-path is programmable via I C
register <16>FBLDEL. By selecting a positive delay,
shadowing of characters can be obtained, if the back-
ground color of the RGB-path is set to black.

With the built-in linear mixer, the CIP 3250A is able to
support simple AB roll techniques between analog input

When the I C register bit <16>FBLCLP is enabled, the
soft mixer operates independently of the analog Fast
Blank input. FBL is clamped to digital 31 (see Fig. 2–4).

Selectthe linear mixer or the nonlinear mixer via I C reg-
ister <12>SELLIN. If the nonlinear mixer is selected, a
dynamic delay control of the analog RGB/YUV input can
be chosen, to avoid edge artefacts of the RGB/YUV sig-
nal (e.g. shading), during transition time of Fast Blank
The FSY input and the AVI input are used to supply all
synchronization information necessary. Three basic

signal with the I C register <12>CTRLDLY.
In some applications, it is desired to disable the control
by the Fast Blank signal and to pass through the digital
YUVin path or the analog RGB/YUV path. This is pos-
sible by adequately programming the I C registers
<06>PASSYUV and <11>PASSRGB (Table 2–1).
In a DIGIT 2000 system environment, the CIP 3250A re-
ceives the synchronization information at the FSY input
via the DIGIT 2000 SKEW-protocol. The AVI Input may
be connected to ground GND or VDD (see section
2.14.).
