Video Processing Controls
The 8964DEC provides video processing controls for the decoding process
for all four channels independently. How the video data is processed
depends on what line the video is on. Some processing affects all lines,
other processing affects just the active picture lines, programmable VBI
lines or the fixed VBI lines.
Line Categories
The line categories used in the configuration of the video signal for the
8964DEC are defined as follows:
• F_Active Lines – the portion of the active video that is fixed and always
treated by the module as carrying active video (not programmable).
• P_Active Lines – lines in the active video that can be configured by the
user to carry either active video or be reserved for carrying user data.
