GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SAB9075H is a picture-in-picture controller for the
NTSC environment in combination with the Integrated
NTSC decoder and sync processor TDA8315.
The device inserts one or two live video channels with
reduced sizes into a live video signal. All video signals are
expected to be analog baseband signals. The conversion
into the digital environment and back to the analog
environment is carried out on-chip. Internal clocks are
generated by two PLLs.
Due to the two PIP channels and a large external memory,
a wide range of PIP modes are offered. The emphasis is
put on double-PIP and multi-PIP modes. In combination
with the different border colours and some external
software the IC concept can be used as an excellent
channel selection tool.
Some of the I2C-bus registers are for controlling the
saturation and HUE of the colours. There are also outputs
for the mute function of main and sub-channel.
