A simplified block diagram of the ADV8003 can be seen in
example, the OSD can be blended before the PVSP to display the OSD on all outputs, the OSD can be blended before the output to display
the OSD on a single output. This has been divided into several modes of operation which are recommended by Analog Devices. These
modes of operation are documented in
The four main processing blocks of the ADV8003 are described as follows.
PVSP: This is the main scaler of the ADV8003 and contains many of the signal processing functions. This block performs motion
adaptive de-interlacing as well as scaling, ACE, FRC, cadence detection, CUE correction, RNR, BNR and MNR. PVSP utilizes the external
DDR2 memory for such processes as FRC, de-interlacing and RNR. (Refer to Section
SVSP: This is the secondary scaler in the ADV8003 and is useful when providing an additional output resolution. The input to this block
can only be progressive. This means an input format can only be connected to the SVSP if it is progressive or if it has been de-interlaced by
the PVSP block. (Refer to Section 3.3 for more details on the SVSP.)
OSD Blend: This block overlays the generated OSD on the incoming video signal, from the Serial Video input lines or from the video
TTL port. This is determined by an alpha factor as to how transparent the OSD will be. Depending on the source of the OSD data (from
an external OSD solution or DDR2 memory), this is then synchronized with the incoming video signal. If the generated resolution is the
same as the video, the OSD is simply overlaid on the video. If both are at different resolutions, the OSD scaler will first scale the OSD data
to match the incoming video. (Refer to Section
Progressive to Interlaced: The ADV8003 has two progressive to interlaced (PtoI) blocks, one of these is included as part of the SVSP. The
second is a standalone block. The function of this block is exactly as named and can be used, for example, if the user was to convert an ED
format such as 480p to a HD format such as 1080i. The PtoI block would be required as part of this conversion. (Refer to Section
Section 3.3.3 for more details on the PtoI hardware blocks.)
