    (e.g. a second MVD400). If you want to use the SPI interface, you have to change the configuration of the MVD400 (Menu > Setup > Input) and use the optionally available DVB-SPI cable. 3.2 Video Interfaces Depending on the video cable type and your display’s interfaces you...
  • Page 11: Audio Interface

    MVD400. Please refer chapter 4.4.1 for details. 3.3 Audio Interface The MVD400 has an optical audio interface and an AES3/EBU interface. The optical audio interface provides the full bit stream or optionally the decoded stereo signal. If the transport stream contains more than two channels of uncompressed audio, the AES3 interface has to be used to access all channels.
  • Page 12: Functional Description

    Transport Stream Demultiplexing, Video Decoding and Audio Processing together with a RISC CPU are incorporated in a single chip called “HiPEG+”, being the key component of the MVD400. Due to the unique design of this chip, the RISC CPU basically is in charge of power-up configuration and some run-time support only.
  • Page 13: Postprocessor

    MikroM Functional Description 4.2 Postprocessor The postprocessor in the MVD400 serves the following functions: • RGB/YUV router to different video output ports • Audio S/P-DIF and AES/EBU format generator • Time code generator 4.3 Demultiplexing and Program Detection In the HiPEG+ chip Transport Stream Demultiplexing is performed by a combination of demultiplexing hardware (for low level bit stream operations) and CPU based software processing.

    Additionally, for the analog output the color space and the sync mode can be selected. 4.4.1 Video Output Formats The MVD400 generates the most common video output formats for SDTV, ATV and HDTV resolution video. A standard set of video output formats is delivered with the device as listed in Table 1.

    (each has a size of 256x256 pixel). Afterwards, enable only correctly displayed output formats in the mask. Once this mask is defined for a given display the MVD400 will only choose the enabled (resp. marked) video output formats (see chapter 4.4.3).
  • Page 17: Scale Modes

    Except in Disabled mode all modes center the image onto the screen. The MVD400 supports 9 different scale modes: 1. Disabled This mode does not scale the video at all. Video output is native and bound to upper left corner.
  • Page 18: Audio Processing

    In this mode the image is scaled in both directions fit the output format exactly. Therefore, aspect ratio may be incorrect. 4.5 Audio Processing The MVD400 supports extraction from transport stream of the following audio formats: • MPEG-1 Layer 1, MPEG-1 Layer 2, MPEG-2 multi-channel •...
