General Description
The STV9212 is an I²C-bus controlled color video
processor designed for standard CRT monitor
applications. It can drive systems where cathodes
are either AC- or DC-coupled to the amplifier
outputs. The three video channels provide contrast
and white balance separate gain adjustments as
well as one-per-channel DC cut-off control and
common DC offset control functions. On top of
these usual controls, it features context-sensitive
picture enhancement circuitry to support the
PictureBooST™ function that enhances the
appearance of still pictures and moving video.
In AC coupling applications, the device can pilot
three cathode DC restore channels dedicated to set
CRT cut-off bias voltages and to control brightness
through cathodes.
The RGB video outputs have a class A architecture
and directly drive the amplifier channels without
unnecessarily consuming current. Bandwidth
limitation I²C-bus adjustments can contribute to
keeping the application EMI under control.
OSD (On-Screen Display) graphics are inserted by
means of a Fast Blanking signal. Independent OSD
contrast control facilitates adaptation to various
OSD generators and provides system flexibility.
The STV9212 is perfectly compatible with other ST
components for CRT video boards, such as video
amplifiers and OSD generators.
