The TMC22071A Genlocking Video Digitizer converts standard baseband composite NTSC or PAL video into 8-bit digital composite video data. It extracts horizontal and vertical sync signals and generates a pixel clock for the on-board 8-bit A/D converter and a 2x clock for the transfer of data to subsequent video processing decoding or encoding with the TMC22x5y Video Decoder or TMC22x9x Digital Video Encoder family. It also measures the color subcarrier phase and frequency and provides this data to the Encoder (for genlocked color NTSC or PAL encoding), or a frame buffer (for frame capture) over the digital composite video port.
