Color Killer
The Chroma Signal Quality is determined by the Color Burst level of the input signal. When the Chroma Signal
level is lower than a threshold level, it is regarded as an improper signal, and the input signal is processed as
strictly a luminance signal. In this case, Cb / Cr data from the AK8856 is fixed at 0x80 in 601 level.
Color Killer operation is selectable from the following 3 conditions, and it is set by the CKILSEL 1:0 bits:
(1) When the Color Burst level is lower than approximately – 23 dB.
(2) When the PLL for Color decoding cannot be locked.
(3) When either condition (1) or (2) is met.
Color Killer is set ON or OFF by the Control 2 Register (R/W) [Sub Address 0x04]. Color Killer operating
conditions are set by the CKILSEL[1:0] bit of the Control 1 Register (R/W) [Sub Address 0x03].
