ABT2010

The ABT2010 is Anchor Bay's second-generation video processing chip ideally suited for deinterlacing and format conversion applications in digital displays, DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray player/recorders, and AV receivers. The chip features all of the processing power of Anchor Bay's Video Reference Series™ (VRST) technologies, including Anchor Bay's proprietary Precision Deinterlacing™ that provides five-field motion adaptive and edge adaptive processing for an artifact-free viewing experience; 10-bit Precision Video Scaling II™ that can independently scale an image horizontally and vertically to achieve outstanding picture quality for today's high-definition video displays; MPEG noise reduction; picture enhancement; and Progressive Re-Processing (PReP™) technology, a breakthrough processing method that reverts the progressive video signal output from source equipment to its original interlaced format, and then converts the interlaced signal to progressive format using Precision Deinterlacing. The ABT2010 supports HDMI 1.3 with 12-bit output resolutions.

Precision Deinterlacing™

  • Supports 480i/576i/1080i-50/1080i-60
  • Arbitrary cadence detection (any-to-any) to detect non-standard cadences
  • Five-field motion adaptive deinterlacing
  • Edge-adaptive processing to produce smooth diagonal edges
  • Three-frame video processing with low-latency gaming modes
  • Reliable 2:2 pull-down detection for 50-Hz video standards
  • Bad edit detection to minimize artifacts caused by sequence breaks in film content
  • Detection of multiple source type within a frame - for example, video titles over film
  • Detection of 2:2 to/from 3:2 crossfades and out of phase 3:2 crossfades
  • Detection modes - automatic, video, film-bias, forced 3:2 and 2:2
  • Cadence detection of 480p, 576p, 720p, and 1080p sources

Single-Chip SD/HD Video Processor

  • Anchor Bay's award-winning vertical and horizontal up and down scaler
  • Accepts SD, HD, and PC inputs including 1080p
  • Up-scales to 1080p and downscales to 480i format
  • Automatic chroma upsampling error detection and correction
  • Panoramic stretch mode to support 4:3 content on a 16:9 display
  • Tearless frame rate conversion
  • Full aspect ratio control
    • Supports multiple input aspect ratios
    • Supports multiple display aspect ratios
  • Zoom, pan, and border functions

PReP

  • Industry's first technology to restore progressive video signals to their original interlaced formats and then converts the interlaced signal to progressive format using Precision Deinterlacing.
  • Processes formats including 480p, 576p, 1080p/50, and 1080p/60
  • Internal software function will automatically disable PReP when receiving a 720p signal, which cannot be restored to an interlaced signal
    • Users may choose to disable PReP manually for all formats
  • Utilizes Precision Deinterlacing to eliminate artifacts

MPEG Noise Reduction

  • Mosquito noise reduction for SD/HD formats
  • General noise reduction including block noise for SD/HD formats

Picture Enhancement

  • Detail enhancement to increase fine detail or reduce noise for overly enhanced images
  • Edge enhancement to sharpen edges or to reduce overly enhanced edges

Picture Controls

  • Brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, sub-pixel YC delays
  • Output black level controls
  • Gamma
  • Calibration controls including 3 x 3 matrix

On-Screen Display (OSD)

  • Character-based OSD supports transparency with foreground/ background color
  • 256/128-character set with 12 x 24/24 x 24 characters
  • 128 x 32 character map which can be freely positioned anywhere on the screen

Controls and Clocks

  • I2C- compatible serial interface
  • Anchor Bay Serial™ interface - four-wire fast serial interface of up to 10.0 MHz
  • Integrated PLLs

Memory

  • DDR2 SDRAM
    • 256 Mbit (16Mx16)
    • Larger sizes will be supported (512 Mbit, 1024 Mbit)
  • Flexible memory interface
    • 1 device - SD deinterlacing
    • 2 devices - HD deinterlacing

Test Pattern Generator

  • Flexible test pattern generator under software control to provide reference test patterns for calibrating display.

Audio Delay

  • 10-channel I2S audio support (HDMI 1.3)
  • Supports up to 640 ms of audio delay
  • Multiple formats including multi-channel audio (compressed, PCM)

Package

  • 316-PBGA (27 mm x 27 mm)

Power / Voltage

  • Less than 2.5 W (no heat sink)
  • 1.0-V Core, 3.3-V I/O, 1.8-V Memory
