6.5.3 Operation mode generator
The VOUT generator determines the VOUT signal. For proper operation of the VOUT generator
information about the raster sequence is necessary. The parameter STOPMODE (Static operation
mode) and the parameter ADOPMODE (Adaptive operation mode) define the raster sequence and
the scan rate conversion algorithm. The figure below explains the used wording for the following
explanations.

The interlaced input signal (e.g. 50 Hz PAL or 60 Hz NTSC) is composed of a field A (odd lines) and
a field B (even lines).
Aⁿ - Input signal, field A at time n,
Bⁿ - Input signal, field B at time n
The field information describes the picture content. The output signal, which could contain different
picture contents (e.g. field A, field B ) can be displayed with the display raster ∼ or ϒ.
(Aⁿ,∼) - Output signal, field A at time n, displayed as raster ∼Ι
