Figure:

Once the signal source is selected, a chroma filter calibrationis performed. The received color burst sub-carrier frequency is usedfor this. Correspondingly, the chroma band pass filter for PAL/NTSCprocessing or the cloche filter for SECAM processing is switchedon. The selected luminance (Y) signal is supplied to the horizontaland vertical synchronization processing circuit and to the luminanceprocessing circuit. In the luminance-processing block, the luminancesignal goes to the chroma trap filter. This trap is switched "on" or "off" dependingon the color burst detection of the chroma calibration circuit.

The group delay correction part can be switched betweenthe BG and a flat group delay characteristic. This has the advantagethat in multi-standard receivers no compromise has to be made forthe choice of the SAW filter.

Video demodulation

The color decoder circuit detects whether thesignal is a PAL, NTSC or SECAM signal. The result is made knownto the auto system manager. The PAL/NTSC decoder has aninternal clock generator, which is stabilized to the required frequency byusing the 12 MHz clock signal from the reference oscillator of themicrocontroller / teletext decoder.

The base-band delay line is used to obtain a good suppression ofcross color effects.

The Y signal and the delay line outputs U and V are appliedto the luminance / chroma signal processing part of theTV processor.
