7. Zoomed Video Port

Zoomed Video Port is defined in the PC Card Standard (PCMCIA) applicable to the notebook PC or other systems. This port is used to directly output video and/or audio signals onto the PCMCIA bus for D/A conversion process, and connect them directly to the video and/or audio signal processing chips on the PC system. Its major applications include MPEG decoder card and video capture card, etc.

Because the video and/or audio signals on the Zoomed Video Port have been output in synchronized condition, DS-1S only converts input audio signal into analog signal through D/A converter.

Audio signals to be transferred on the Zoomed Video Port include bit clock (SCLK), L/R clock (LRCK) and serial data (DATA), and they are provided as outputs in the format defined below. This is generally called I2S format.

RIGHT Channel

In the Zoomed Video Port, synchronization with a master clock supplied from the bus is inherently required. However, DS-1S can asynchronously process audio signal input via the Zoomed Video Port, eliminating the need for master clock.

Sampling rate of the audio signals input via the Zoomed Video Port is resampled to 96.0kHz sampling frequency at the stage followed by the SRC block, then converted to 48.0kHz sampling rate in the SRC block stage. Sampling rates to be supported on the Zoomed Video Port include 22.05kHz, 32.0kHz, 44.1kHz and 48.0kHz.

Interface connection arrangement between the DS-1S and the Zoomed Video Port is as illustrated below.
