GENERAL INFORMATION
The LMH1251 is a high speed triple 2:1 video multiplexer with an integrated sync processor and color space
converter. One input channel accepts standard RGBHV PC graphics video and the second input channel accepts
YP_BP_R component video. If the first input of the MUX is selected, the device will output the RGBHV video from
the input with unity gain. If the second input of the MUX is selected, sync processing and color space conversion
will be performed on the YP_BP_R component signals to provide an equivalent RGBHV signal at the output.
YP_BP_R to RGBHV PROCESSING
The LMH1251 is capable of processing 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p YP_BP_R component video
signals only. S-Video, composite NTSC, or composite PAL video will not be converted by the LMH1251. For High
Definition, 720p and 1080i/1080p video, the LMH1251 will convert the luma and chroma signals into primary
RGB signals according to the linear arithmetic formula specified in the EIA/CEA-770.3-C Standard for High
Definition Analog Component TV. For Standard Definition video, the LMH1251 will perform the conversion
according to the linear arithmetic formula specified in the EIA/CEA-770.2-C Standard for Standard Definition
Analog Component TV. The advanced analog architecture that is employed to perform the color space
conversion is precise to within 2.5% of amplitude and 1.5° of phase error on a vectorscope with a color bar test
signal. This is illustrated with a vectorscope plot of a converted color bar signal in the 720p format shown Typical
Performance Characteristics.
Note that although 480i/576i component video is supported by the LMH1251, most PC display monitors cannot
handle such line rates. Typically, only 480p, 576p, 720p, and 1080i/1080p are within the displayable line rate
range of LCD and CRT monitors. Furthermore, the scaler in LCD monitor systems must include a de-interlacer
for it to display interlaced video such as with 1080i.
Component Video Formats Supported By The LMH1251
• 480i*
• 480p
• 576i*
• 576p
• 720p
• 1080i at 25, 29.97, and 30 Hz frame rate
• 1080p at 25, 29.97, and 30 Hz frame rate
NOTE
*These formats with Macrovision are not supported. See MACROVISION
COMPATIBILITY for more information.
AUTO/MANUAL FORMAT DETECTION
The LMH1251 can either automatically detect the input format of the component video source, or it can be put in
a manual mode where the MCU has the flexibility to specify which YP_BP_R to RGBHV processing scheme for the
device to apply depending on the input format. If a logic high is applied to Pin 23, the LMH1251 will be in the
AUTO detection mode, which is typically recommended. In this mode, the device will appropriately use the
proper YP_BP_R to RGB processing scheme based on its input format detection. If a logic low is applied to Pin 23,
the LMH1251 will be in the manual detection mode. In this mode, the MCU must apply a logic low to Pin 22 if the
processing scheme is for SDTV video formats, and a logic high if the processing scheme is for HDTV formats.
Note that in the AUTO mode, Pin 22 becomes an output pin, and outputs a logic low if an SD video input is
detected and a logic high if an HD video input is detected, as notification to the MCU.
