GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SAA7128H; SAA7129H encodes digital C
B
-Y-C
R
video data to an NTSC, PAL or SECAM CVBS or S-video
signal. Simultaneously, RGB or bypassed but interpolated
C
B
-Y-C
R
signals are available via three additional DACs.
The circuit at a 54 MHz multiplexed digital D1 input port
accepts two ITU-R BT.656 compatible C
B
-Y-C
R
data
streams with 720 active pixels per line in
4 : 2 : 2 multiplexed formats, for example MPEG decoded
data with overlay and MPEG decoded data without
overlay, whereas one data stream is latched at the rising,
the other one at the falling clock edge.
It includes a sync/clock generator and on-chip DACs.
