(5) Field Determination Display
To display the block with vertical dot size of 1/2H, whether an even
field or an odd field is determined through differences in a synchro-
nizing signal waveform of interlacing system. The dot line 0 or 1 (re-
fer to Figure 79) corresponding to the field is displayed alternately.
In the following, the field determination standard for the case where
both the horizontal sync signal and the vertical sync signal are nega-
tive-polarity inputs will be explained. A field determination is deter-
mined by detecting the time from a falling edge of the horizontal sync
signal until a falling edge of the VSYNC control signal (refer to Figure
69) in the microcomputer and then comparing this time with the time
of the previous field. When the time is longer than the comparing
time, it is regarded as even field. When the time is shorter, it is re-
garded as odd field
The contents of this field can be read out by the field determination
flag (bit 7 of the I/O polarity control register at address 021716). A dot
line is specified by bit 6 of the I/O polarity control register (refer to
Figure 79).
However, the field determination flag read out from the CPU is fixed
to “0” at even field or “1” at odd field, regardless of bit 6.
