Figure 9-5 Clock Distribution
The Chrysalis chip has a complex system, which is needed to
support the processes running at different frequencies such
as video decoding, audio decoding or peripheral I/O devices
etc. To ensure a synchronous initialization of all the registers
and state machines, all the PLLs are switched to their default
frequency and the reset sequence is run at 4MHz.
Then when the booting control unit is correctly initialized and
once it has captured all the booting parameters, it sets the
PLLs to its functional frequencies to allow the modules to
run at their nominal frequencies. Thanks to a clock blocking
mechanism, the frequency switching is glitch free.

Video
Part
The analogue video input signals CVBS, YC and RGB are
routed via the board to connector 1904 and sent to Video
Input Processor, SAA7118E. The Video Input Processor
encodes the analogue video to digital video stream (CCIR656
format). The output stream, named ITU_IN(7:0), is then
routed to the Chrysalis chip. This IC encodes and decodes
the digital video stream into / from MPEG2 format.
The digital video input signals from the DV-in are routed from
connector 1203 via the 1394 PHY IC [7200] and the 1394
LINK IC [7201] also to the Chrysalis chip.
Audio
Part
I
2
S audio is sent from the Analog board to the Chrysalis chip
via connector 1900.
The Chrysalis chip compresses the I
2
S audio data into an
MPEG1-L2 / AC3 audio stream.

The Chrysalis chip interfaces directly to the Basic Engine and
HDD via the IDE connectors.
It buffers the data streams that are coming from (or going to)
these hardware devices.
In the Chrysalis chip, the video MPEG2 stream and the audio
AC3 stream are multiplexed into an I
2
S stream. In normal
recording the serial data are send to the HDD for recording.
Only archiving and playback is done with optical drive.
9.5.2. Playback
mode
During playback, the serial data from the Basic Engine is
going directly to the Chrysalis chip via ATAPI interface. The
Chrysalis chip has the following outputs:
•
Analog video CVBS, YC and RGB outputs on
connector
1904
•
I
2
S audio (PCM format) on connector 1900
•
SPDIF audio (digital audio output) on connector 1900
•
Progressive Scan output connector 1002
9.5.3. Basic
Engine
Interface
The Digital board is equipped with 2 IDE bus (ATAPI) for
connecting to the Basic Engine and HDD via connectors 1102
and 1101 respectively.
