PICNIC
The main task of the PICNIC is the conversion from 50Hz to
100Hz for YUV and HV-sync (see fig 6-11). In the PICNIC also
integrated is the CPU with a ROM. This internal ROM is not
always used and also external ROM IC7616 can be used. At a
later stage it is the intention to use only the internal ROM. In the
PICNIC there are three 9 bits ADCs present for Y,U,V. For
digitising the Y (luminance) 9 bits are used, to realise a more
detailed picture. The 9 bits are only internally used. Via
dithering the 9 bits are reduced to 8 bits and that data is stored
into the memory. The data in the memory is fed back to the
PICNIC and via undithering the data is again reproduced 9 bits
for processing. U/V (colour difference signals) is also sampled
with 9 bits. These two 9 bit datastreams are multiplexed to 4 bits
datastreams. This reduction can be allowed as the perception
for colours by the human eye is less sensitive as for luminance.
Sets with high specification have auto-DNR. The auto-DNR
works together with the TOPIC who takes care of the sharpness
control. The effect is:
Digital Scan featuring
To the PICNIC external ICs are connected dependent of the
features. If MG5.1E has only 100Hz then only one memory-IC
is used to store one frame. For sets with digital scan the
PROZONIC (IC7608 SAA4990H) has been added with two
memory-ICs (IC7606/7607 TMS4C2973 or IC7614/7615
MSM5412222). The housing of the TMS...version (smaller) or
MSM... is different which can be seen in the print layout. In this
way various memory suppliers can be used.
The PROZONIC SAA4990. This is an abbreviation of
PROgressive scan Zoom and Noise reduction IC.
The functions of the PROZONIC are:
•
Field rate up-conversion (50-100 Hz or 60-120Hz)
•
Noise Reduction (DNR, Digital Noise Reduction)
•
Movie Phase Detection
•
Progressive Scan (= digital scan)
•
Variable Vertical Sample Rate Conversion
•
Synchronous No Parity Eight bit Reception an
Transmission interface (SNERT-bus)
Checks that can be done for fault finding:
•
If 3V3 is present for the PICNIC then the 12 MHz should
work (1601). YUV has to be fed to the PICNIC via TS7610/
7611/7612 and also Ha/Va (50 Hz sync) via R3628/3633.
On the SNERT-bus (pins 1/2 of the PICNIC) there should be
activity.
•
Check the reset of the PICNIC pins 6/7. Via pin 6 the
memory is reset. The YUV outputs are available at pin 12,
14 and 15.
