Feature

Philips SAA7108E PC-Codec module for Nvidia Graphics Accelerator

The SAA7108E is a new multi-standard video decoder and encoder chip, offering high quality video input and TV output processing as required by PC-99 specifications.

Video decoder

2 analog inputs, internal analog source selectors, 1x Y/C and 1 x CVBS

Fully programmable static gain or automatic gain control for the selected CVBS or Y/C channel

Two built-in analog anti-aliasing filters

Automatic detection of 50 Hz and 60 Hz field frequency and automatic switching between PAL and NTSC standards

Brightness Contrast Saturation (BCS) and hue control on-chip

Detection of copy protected input signals according to the macrovision standard. Can be used to prevent unauthorized recording of pay-TV or video tape signals.

Video scaler

Both up and down-scaling

Phase accuracy better than 1/64 pixel or line, horizontally or vertically

Independent scaling definitions for odd and even fields

Anti-alias filter for horizontal scaling

Video encoder

Digital PAL/NTSC encoder with integrated high quality scaler and anti-flicker filter for TV output from a PC

Up to 800 x 600 graphics data at 60 Hz or 50 Hz with programmable underscan range

Selectable cross-colour reduction to improve CVBS output

Down-scaling from 1 : 1 to 1 : 2 and up to 20% up-scaling

Support for hardware cursor

Programmable border colour of underscan area
