Introduction 

 

 

SB10 is a high quality NTSC/PAL video decoder module intended as a demonstration and evaluation 
platform for the 

SingMai PT4 video decoder IP core

 
The module accepts PAL or NTSC encoded CVBS (composite) inputs, either differential twisted pair 
or  single  ended  coaxial  formats.  The  video  is  amplified,  clamped  and  converted  to  digital  video 
using a 10-bit ADC clocked at 54MHz. An Altera FPGA is programmed with the PT4 video decoder, 
which performs high  quality line comb decoding of the  video input. Both lock modes of the PT4 
are supported – the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) mode and the fast direct digital synthesis 
(DDS) mode. 
 
The  BT656  output  of  the  PT4  drives  an  HDMI  transmitter  allowing  evaluation  of  the  IP  on  a 
monitor or waveform analyser. The HDMI output is set to 576i (PAL) or 480i (NTSC).
