5.9.2Video Processing Back-End (VPBE)

The Video Processing Back-End of VPBE module is comprised of the On Screen Display (OSD) module and the Video Encoder / Digital LCD Controller (VENC/DLCD).

5.9.2.1 On-Screen Display (OSD)

The primary function of the OSD module is to gather and blend video data and display/bitmap data and then pass it to the Video Encoder (VENC) in YCbCr format. The video and display data is read from external DDR2/mDDR memory. The OSD is programmed via control and parameter registers. The following are the primary features that are supported by the OSD.

∙Support for two video windows and two OSD bitmapped windows that can be displayed simultaneously (VIDWIN0/VIDWIN1 and OSDWIN0/OSDWIN1).

∙Video windows supports YCbCr data in 422 format from external memory, with the ability to interchange the order of the CbCr component in the 32-bit word

∙OSD bitmap windows support 1/2/4/8 bit width index data of color palette

∙In addition one OSD bitmap window at a time can be configured to one of the following:

–YUV422 (same as video data)

–RGB format data in 16-bit mode (R=5bit, G=6bit, B=5bit)

–24-bit mode (each R/G/B=8bit) with pixel level blending with video windows

∙Programmable color palette with the ability to select between a RAM/ROM table with support for 256 colors.

∙Support for 2 ROM tables, one of which can be selected at a given time

∙Separate enable/disable control for each window

∙Programmable width, height, and base starting coordinates for each window

∙External memory address and offset registers for each window

∙Support for x2 and x4 zoom in both the horizontal and vertical direction

∙Pixel-level blending/transparency/blinking attributes can be defined for OSDWIN0 when OSDWIN1 is configured as an attribute window for OSDWIN0.

∙Support for blinking intervals to the attribute window

∙Ability to select either field/frame mode for the windows (interlaced/progressive)

∙An eight step blending process between the bitmap and video windows

∙Transparency support for the bitmap and video data (when a bitmap pixel is zero, there will be no
