YCrCb or RGB to NTSC/PAL
Digital Video Encoder
The Bt856/7 is designed specifically for video systems requiring the generation of
525-line (NTSC/PAL–M) or 625-line (PAL–B, D, G, H, I, N, N-Argentina) compos-
ite or Y/C (S-video) signals.
The Bt856 and Bt857 are functionally identical, with the exception that Bt857
can output the Macrovision anticopy algorithm.
Horizontal sync (HSYNC*) and vertical sync (VSYNC*) may be configured as
inputs (slave mode) or outputs (master mode). BLANK* is an input and may be
externally controlled.
24-bit linear or gamma-corrected RGB data or 4:2:2 YCrCb data may be input.
The rise and fall times of sync, the burst envelope, and closed caption data are inter-
nally controlled.
Analog luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) information is available on the Y and
C outputs for interfacing to S-video equipment. The composite analog video signal
is output simultaneously onto two analog outputs. This allows one output to provide
baseband composite video and another output to drive an RF modulator. Analog
RGB is available to support the European SCART/PeriTV interface.
