1: Introduction VAC2000 Hardware reference manual Technical specification Video input: Composite or S-Video monochrome, NTSC or PAL. Four software selectable video input sources. Software selectable brightness, contrast and saturation control. 1V peak-to-peak (75Ω termination). VGA display output: 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 resolution as well as 720 x 480 (NTSC) and 720 x 576 (PAL). -
Page 8: Functional Summary
An input video multiplexer allows any one source to be selected under software control. Video inputs and outputs on the VAC2000 are provided on; low profile MMCX RF connectors for composite and S-Video, a 2 x 5 header for VGA output and a HIROSE 30 way flat-flex cable connector for flat panel TFT digital output (TMDS). - Page 9 VAC2000 Hardware reference manual Video overlay on text/graphics The VAC2000 allows the live video stream from the decoder to be overlaid as a rectangular window on top of, or blended with, text and graphics on the display screen. Internal hardware video and graphics acceleration ensures that the live video window can be scaled, repositioned and blended with minimal host CPU intervention.
