| digital infotainment products PCl Video Decoder F u s i o nTM 8 7 8 A TM Conexant's Fusion Family of PCI Video Decoders Integrates Broadcast Video and Data Capture, and Playback in a Single Chip The newest addition to the Fusion family of PCI video decoders is the Fusion 878A. It is a multifunctional PCI device based on the original Bt878/879 products. The Fusion 878A is pin-for-pin compatible with the Bt878/879, and adds enhanced performance capabilities in video and broadcast communication services. Fusion 878A addresses the current analog TV requirements as well as the evolving digital TV broadcast standards like ATSC (American Television Standards Committee) and DVB (Digital Video Broadcast). The Fusion 878A is PC 98 and PC 99 compliant. Also, Fusion 878A conforms to the Advance Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) and power management requirements outlined in the PCI Bus Power Management Specification 1.0. Fusion 878A integrates more of the external biasing circuitry, which reduces the overall bill of materials and improves performance characteristics of video and clocking. This enables customers to develop cost-effective, yet flexible solutions addressing analog and digital video. Distinguishing Features * Supports NTSC/PAL/SECAM video input * Worldwide graphics controller compatibility * PC 98/99 compliant * ACPI and power management * Transport stream DMA for ATSC and DVB digital broadcast - 40 Mbps serial I/O - 20 MBps parallel I/O digital infotainment products PCl Video Decoder Fusion 878A General Features Because Fusion 878A is fully compatible with the current Bt878/879, upgrading to requirements like PC 98/99 compliance is a minimal investment. Also, customers can standardize with one PCI video decoder to enable multiple configurations of TV cards that address the broad spectrum of broadcast requirements around the world. Because Fusion 878A is based on the Bt878/879, customers can continue to support their products using one software code base, adding functionality by including additional software modules. Driver software is available to move transport packet streams from a wide variety of digital demodulators to host memory using the Fusion 878A DMA engine. Therefore, building next-generation digital broadcast solutions on the proven Bt878 platform is easy and low risk since the software is incremental to existing Fusion software. PC 99 Compliance ACPI and Power Management Interface Fusion 878A supports ACPI and the Power Management Interface 1.0 specifications, making the Fusion 878A the product of choice for green PC Features All Bt848A Features Mono Audio DVCR PC 99 Compliance ATSC Digital TV DVB Bt878 X X X Fusion 878A X X X X X X and notebook applications. Vital Product Data Vital Product Data (VPD) is required by PCI specification version 2.2. Through the Fusion 878A and the use of an external EEPROM, manufacturers can store information that identifies the product down to the serial number. The data is stored in ASCII format and is accessible through the configuration space Transport Stream DMA for Digital Television The analog and digital audio paths have been modified for increased bandwidth and functionality. The asynchronous parallel port, which uses the analog data path, has an increased raw data rate of 20 MBps. Additionally, the I2S port has been modified to handle data up to 40 Mbps. This added functionality makes Fusion the ideal choice for ATSC, DVB, DBS, and digital cable platforms on the PC. VPD interface registers. This feature provides board manufacturers and PC OEMs the ability to more accurately track their product as well as offer improved or enhanced customer support. Worldwide Video Support The Fusion family supports all the features and flexibility of the Bt848A video solution, including the integration of a NTSC/PAL/SECAM composite and S-video decoder, high-quality scaler, and PCI bus What is a PCI Video Decoder? A PCI bus analog video decoder is used for three primary PC solutions: video capture and editing, video teleconferencing, and television receiver cards. A video signal is generated by a video source, which can be a camera,VCR or TV tuner. The baseband video that goes into the PCI decoder is a simple analog signal that contains video analog data and video master on a single device. Like the Bt848A, the Fusion family can place video data directly into host memory for video capture applications and into a target video display frame buffer for video overlay applications. Analog Audio/Video in I 2C Analog and Digital Tuner Digital Audio/ Video In Graphics Memory synchronization data, which is used to display the picture properly at the receiving end. The details of the signal depend on the video standard used -- NTSC (National Television Standards Committee), PAL (Phase Alternate Line) or SECAM (Systeme Electronique Couleur Avec Memoire). To transmit the picture, the source generates a vertical synchronization signal (VSYNC). This signal resets the receiver (PC monitor) so that it begins picture display at the top of the screen. After the VSYNC signal is sent, the video source scans the first line of the image. Once the scan line OFDM DVB ATSC MPEG II All Format Decoder (optional) I 2S Fusion 878A System Memory PCI BUS GPIO CCIR 601 Disk Digital RGB Out Bt869 (optional) Composite and S-Video Analog RGB/VGA is complete, the camera generates a horizontal synchronization signal (HSYNC), which resets the receiver so that it will display the next line starting at the left-hand edge of the display. For each line of Digital television receiver for the PC Fusion Software Drivers Fusion offers a suite of widely fielded software drivers for Windows 95 and Windows 98. With the VxD drivers, board developers can support products using either the Windows 95 or Windows 98 operating systems. VxD and WDM drivers provide video capture, playback and display in accordance with Microsoft's Video for Windows and Direct Show 2.0, respectively. Dialog boxes, tuner, GPIO, and I2C modules can be modified and customized by board developers. the image, a scan line and a horizontal synchronization pulse are sent. The PCI bus attached to the video decoder is the access mechanism, or hub, for this video information traveling to the PC. The need for broadcast data in the PC is a primary reason analog dedicated PC television receiver cards are becoming very popular. The introduction of WebTV for Windows and national broadcaster support of Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) content contribute to addressing the need for a feature Fusion software drivers are supported by the industry's broadest base of ISV applications commercially available for video editing, teleconferencing, compression, television on the PC and video email. Software is available through retail and OEM channels. rich, broadcast data function in the PC. PCI video decoder solutions provide the most effective means to achieve this. features and specifications UltralockTM and Scaling Support Fusion 878A, like the Bt848A, Bt878, and Bt879, utilizes Conexant's patented Ultralock technology that locks to an incoming analog video signal. Ultralock is able to recognize unstable video signals caused by VCR headswitches or any other video source, and adapt the locking mechanism to accommodate the source.

The X and Y dimensions can be scaled to one-sixteenth of full resolution. Vertical scaling is implemented with Conexant's industry-leading 5-tap vertical filter. Americas Byte Alignment Byte alignment is used to improve video performance in packed color modes. Often, video applications are written around the planar, not the packed color mode of operation. The result is video which is not DWORD aligned. To the end user, the color of the video appears misrepresented, showing more R, G, or B (Red, Green, or Blue) than is actually there. Fusion compensates for non-DWORD aligned data by aligning each DWORD with the correct byte lanes in the targeted address.
