4.5 Clip/Scale/Multiplier (CSM)
There are limits on the code range of the video data if sampled according to ITU or SMPTE standards. In other words,
the full 10-bit range [0:1023] is not used to represent video pixels. For example, typically 64 decimal is the lowest code
allowed to represent a video signal and corresponds to the blanking level. Similarly for Y, typically the maximum code
is 940 decimal. Excursions outside this range can be the result of digital video processing.
THS8200 can handle such instantaneous excursions in either of two ways: by limiting the input codes to
programmable max/min values, or by allowing such excursions to occur.
Depending on which approach is chosen, the user can scale up the video data in the CSM to make sure the full-scale
dynamic range of the DAC is used for optimal performance when using limiting. Alternatively, the instantaneous
excursions outside the code range can be output by the DAC in the analog output signal (allowing super-white/black
in analog output) when this clipping is disabled.
The CSM block allows the user to specify the behavior of THS8200 with such reduced-swing input video codes. It
consists of the following:
1. an optional clipping of the input video data at a high and low limit, where the limits are individually
programmable per channel
2. a downward shift of the input video data, where the shift amount is individually programmable per channel
3. a multiply (magnitude scaling) function of the video data, where the multiplier coefficient is individually
programmable per channel.
4.5.1 Clipping
Clipping (limiting) of the video input data can be turned on or off on a per-channel basis, and selectively at the high
and/or low end, by programming the csm_<gy,rcr,bcb>_<high,low>_clip_on registers. The high/low clipping values
can be programmed on a per-channel basis using registers csm_clip_<gy,rcr,bcb>_<high,low>.
Figure 4–5 shows a typical situation to clip ITU-R.BT601 sampled video signals.
