Blanking Control 
Control Registers for this section
The content of VBIENFx[4:0] selects the first line to contain 
an active video region in each field, all subsequent lines for 
the remainder of the field are active. To blank an entire field, 
the user zeroes the VBIENFx[4:0] control register. In 
CCIR656 slave mode, the user can selectively blank any 
enabled line by setting its TRS V bit HIGH. For 525-line 
systems, NTSC line numbering is employed, with the first 
vertical serration starting on line 4. PAL line numbering is 
used with 625-line systems, with each field's line 1 being the 
start of the first vertical serration.
Any line(s) enabled by the closed caption control are auto-
matically unblanked for the closed caption waveform, irre-
spective of the corresponding values of VBIENF.
Pixel Data Control
The pixel data control has two modes of operation, as an 
input or as an output. The mode of operation is determined 
by the PDCDIR control register. When PDC is an input the 
internally generated PDC is ANDed with the PDC pin. This 
allows the user to blank any active video regions. When PDC 
is an output, the internally generated PDC is the output for 
the PDC pin. 
The internal PDC control will toggle to a logic HIGH at the 
pixel specified by PDCNT and toggle to a logic LOW four 
pixels prior to the end of the active video region. The starting 
point and ending point of the active video region (VA) are 
determined by the control registers 10h to 1Fh. When PDC is 
used as an input, the sloped edge of the active video region 
will occur on the next four pixels following the toggle point. 
Edge Shaping
The TMC2192 has three modes of sloped edges on the active 
video region and are controlled by PDRM control register.

Slope type at PDC (HIGH)
The following four pixels have the weighting of 
1/8, 1/2, 7/8 and 1 for NTSC and 1/8, 3/8, 5/8, 
and 7/8 for PAL.
The fifth pixel is sampled and scaled 1/8, 1/2, 
7/8 and 1 over the next four pixels for NTSC 
and 1/8, 3/8, 5/8, and 7/8 over the next four 
pixels for PAL.
Slope is off, edge control is dictated by the PD 
stream from active video start
Slope type at PDC (LOW)
The following four pixels have the weighting of 
1, 7/8, 1/2, and 1/8 for NTSC and 7/8, 5/8, 3/8, 
and 1/8 for PAL.
The fifth pixel s sampled and scaled 1, 7/8, 1/2 
and 1/8 over the next four pixels for NTSC and 
7/8, 5/8, 3/8, and 1/8 over the next four pixels 
for PAL.
Slope is off, edge control is dictated by the PD 
stream to active video end
