4 PRIMARY MODE AND VIDEO STANDARD
Setting the primary mode and choosing a video standard are the most fundamental settings when configuring the ADV7850.
There are four main modes of operation on the ADV7850. These modes are enabled by setting
•
SDP mode
Analog-composite and analog S-Video mode. This covers all standard definition modes that have a modulated color subcarrier.
Typical examples are PAL-BGHID, PAL-M/N, NTSC-M/N and SECAM. SDP also supports SD YPrPb and SD SCART RGB. The
SDP core is the main processing block in this mode.
Component mode
•
Analog-component video mode. This includes all video signals that arrive in a YPbPr (or YUV) analog format. Typical examples
are progressive and high definition video signals. The CP core is the main processing block in this mode.
•
Graphics mode
Analog-graphic mode. This mode is intended for RGB input signals with high bandwidth. The CP core is the main processing
block in this mode.
•
HDMI mode
HDMI mode. In HDMI mode the ADV7850 can receive and decode HDMI or DVI data throughout the DVI/HDMI receiver
front end. Video data from the HDMI receiver is routed to the HDMI Tx while audio data is available on the audio interface.
This mode is enabled by selecting either the HDMI Graphics primary mode or HDMI Component primary mode.
