Mode 7
Mode 7 should be used if:
•
HDMI input video is copy protected
•
Additional processing is required on the new output formats
•
OSD is required on multiple outputs
•
OSD and video scaling are to be kept separate

Mode 7 is different to other modes in that OSD is not overlaid on video data on certain outputs but rather just output on its own. In
certain cases where HDMI video from an upstream IC is copy protected, video data can be output on HDMI outputs but not analog
outputs. However, OSD data can still be displayed on analog output, for example, to indicate system status or to recover the system from
an error-like state.
In this mode, the input format is 720p from an external video transceiver (this could also come from the Video TTL input if video is from
an upstream HDMI IC) and is passed to the PVSP. This is upscaled, blended with the 1080p OSD data and sent to both HDMI
transmitters. Because this may be copy protected, this cannot be passed to the analog outputs. The OSD on its own, however, can be
passed directly to these outputs. In the example in
