ESCRIPTION
The Genesis Microchip FLI8538 offers high integration for advanced applications of
Picture-in-Picture (PiP) and Picture-by-Picture (PBP) with an integrated video decoder
with a 3D comb filter. The FLI8538 can power up to 1080p displays with the proven
DCDi Cinema
TM
-branded technology.
Special performance features such as the Faroudja
DCDi Cinema
TM
video format
converter, 10-bit performance in the device, and the Advanced Color Management
(3D) provide exceptional video quality. This exclusive level of video quality technology
was previously only seen on Faroudja
Home Theater Systems but is now available in
a single-chip solution.
The FLI8538 also comprises an integrated Analog Front End (AFE) that includes triple
ADCs and an integrated cross-point switch. The flexible AFE ensures simple PCB
design with direct connections to TV tuners and input video connectors. In essence, the
FLI8538 is the only device needed for a single LCD TV chassis supporting worldwide
standards. For regional variations, only a connector and firmware change are required.
The integrated VBI dataslicer and decoder remove the need for external components
resulting in significant cost reduction. The FLI8538 supports many worldwide VBI
standards for applications of Teletext, Closed Captioning, V-Chip, and other VBI
services.
The FLI8538 can also be used as part of a digital TV solution that requires the proven
Faroudja
DCDi Cinema
TM
video performance.
An embedded microprocessor and a versatile OSD in a single device will facilitate rapid
development of a reliable and attractive product. The FLI8538 utilizes the common
Cortez family firmware so migration is easy and effortless when moving across different
hardware platforms within the Cortez family.
