As previously mentioned, first filter circuit 208 in the filtration module 202 is to be used for carrying out infinite impulse response filter to handle, therefore, in the present embodiment, first filter circuit 208 can be handled input data (that is S_IN) with recursive mode, in other words, the filtering output S_OUT that first filter circuit 208 is produced can be relevant with input data of receiving at present (for example present data of composite video signal) and the input data of before having received (for example last data of composite video signal), in the present embodiment, first filter circuit 208 adopts the computing of weighted average (weighted average) to realize the infinite impulse response filter processing, yet, this is only as the usefulness of example explanation, but not restriction of the present invention, that is, under the spiritual prerequisite of invention of the present invention, first filter circuit 208 also can adopt other infinite impulse response system to be realized, and the variation in these designs also belongs to category of the present invention.As shown in Figure 2, first filter circuit 208 in the filtration module 202 includes (but being not limited to) first multiplication unit 210, second multiplication unit 212, adder unit 214, storage element 216 and weighted value setup unit 218.First multiplication unit 210 is multiplied by the first weighted value W (0≤W≤1) in order to video is imported each data among the S_IN (for example each sampled value of composite video signal), to produce first multiplication output M1.212 of second multiplication units are coupled to storage element 216, be multiplied by second weighted value (1-W) in order to each data (for example each sampled value of handling via weighted average) among the result D_IIR that storage element 216 is stored, to produce second multiplication output M2.Adder unit 214 is coupled to first multiplication unit 210, second multiplication unit 212 and storage element 216, in order to add up first multiplication output M1 and second multiplication output M2 to produce addition output M3, M3=M1*W+M2* (1-W) wherein, and addition is exported M3 write to storage element 216 to upgrade corresponding each data among the stored result D_IIR of storage element 216.
In present embodiment, the addition output M3 that adder unit 214 is produced carries out the Data Update except writing back storage element 216, directly exports S_OUT (that is S_OUT=M3) as the filtering of filtration module 202 in addition; In addition, storage element 216 is line buffer (line buffer), its buffer depth equals the predetermined total number of sample points of a scan line, therefore, under ideal state, the sampled data of a scan line of every input, then storage element 216 can just store the sampled data of this scan line via the result after the infinite impulse response filter processing.In addition, because line buffer is the element that is possessed in the script simulated television decoder, therefore, first filter circuit 208 can utilize existing line buffer to be used as required storage element 216, thereby saves running and go up required hardware cost.
See also Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is that first filter circuit 208 is carried out the simplified diagram that infinite impulse response filter is handled.Suppose in period T 0~T 1In, filtration module 202 is received the sampled data D0 of the 1st scan line in first picture one by one, and sampled data D0 can write direct storage element 216 with as the stored initial treatment of storage element 216 D_IIR as a result 0, that is D_IIR 0=D 0From time T 2, each data (sampled value) beginning in first picture among the sampled data D1 of the 2nd scan line inputs to first filter circuit 208 one by one, during first sampled value in receiving sampled data D1, first filter circuit 208 can be read initial treatment D_IIR as a result in storage element 216 0In corresponding processing over-sampling value, and handle via above-mentioned infinite impulse response filter and to produce a new processing over-sampling value to storage element 216, and follow-up sampled value also similarly can be carried out the infinite impulse response filter processing one by one among the sampled data D1, therefore, and in period T 1~T 2In, first filter circuit 208 can be considered based on initial treatment D_IIR as a result 0Carry out infinite impulse response filter with sampled data D1 and handle, so in time T 2The time, storage element 216 just can store the result D_IIR after the renewal 1In like manner, in period T 2~T 3In, first filter circuit 208 can be considered based on result D_IIR 1Carry out infinite impulse response filter with next record sampled data D1 and handle, so in time T 3The time, storage element 216 just can store the result D_IIR after the renewal 2Because the those skilled in the art can learn follow-up running after reading above-mentioned explanation easily, so do not give unnecessary details in addition in this.
Because can carrying out infinite impulse response filter to video input S_IN, handles by first filter circuit 208, again infinite impulse response filter is handled the filtering output S_OUT produced (that is Filtering Processing cross video input S_IN) and inputed to subsequent conditioning circuit (for example clip level detector 204 and comparator 206), therefore, for clip level detector 204 and comparator 206, because the video that Filtering Processing is crossed input S_IN can be with undesired interference component (for example white noise and co-channel interference or the like) filtering or decay effectively among the script video input S_IN, therefore, can significantly promote the accuracy of the synchronizing signal amplitude limit output Sliced_SYNC that clip level SL that clip level detector 204 judged and comparator 206 produced, and then improve final picture display quality.
Please note, in present embodiment, first filter circuit 208 is provided with weighted value setup unit 218 in addition, it is coupled to first multiplication unit 210 and second multiplication unit 212, characteristics of signals in order to foundation video input S_IN is set the first weighted value W and second weighted value (1-W), for instance, weighted value setup unit 218 can be based on signal to noise ratio (the signal-to-noise ratio of video input S_IN, SNR) dynamically adjust the first weighted value W and second weighted value (1-W), therefore, when the signal to noise ratio of video input S_IN is higher (it is more not serious represent video to import the annoyance level of S_IN), then weighted value setup unit 218 can increase by the first weighted value W and reduce by second weighted value (1-W), on the other hand, when the signal to noise ratio of video input S_IN is low (it is more serious represent video to import the annoyance level of S_IN), then weighted value is set single 218 meeting reduction by first weighted value W and is promoted second weighted value (1-W), in other words, the first weighted value W and signal to noise ratio positive correlation, second weighted value (1-W) then is a negative correlation with signal to noise ratio.
According to above-mentioned explanation as can be known, the setting of weighted value setup unit 218 can make win weighted value W and second weighted value (1-W) along with the actual signal quality of video input S_IN itself and dynamically adjust, so make first filter circuit 208 can have preferable infinite impulse response filter treatment efficiency, yet, in fact weighted value setup unit 218 can be the element of a selectivity (optional), for example, in another embodiment, if under the specific operation environment, the actual signal quality of video input S_IN is all very stable, then first filter circuit 208 just can omit weighted value setup unit 218, and only use the one group of default first weighted value W and second weighted value (1-W), and the variation in this design also belongs to category of the present invention.
Fig. 4 is the flow chart of synchronizing signal amplitude limit method first embodiment of the present invention.Flow process shown in Figure 4 is applied to synchronizing signal amplitude limiter 200 shown in Figure 2, and in addition, if can obtain identical haply result, then step not necessarily will be carried out in accordance with order shown in Figure 4.The running of synchronizing signal amplitude limit method first embodiment of the present invention can simply be summarized as follows:
Step 402: receiver, video input (for example sampled data of composite video signal).
Step 404: infinite impulse response filter is carried out in this video input handle (for example weighted average processing) to produce filtering output.
Step 406: the clip level that decides corresponding synchronizing signal composition (for example horizontal-drive signal composition) according to this filtering output.
Step 408: relatively this clip level and this filtering output is to produce the output of synchronizing signal amplitude limit.Then, getting back to step 404 handles this video input to continue adopting this infinite impulse response filter to handle.
Because the those skilled in the art should understand the details of operation of each step easily after the technology contents that reads above-mentioned relative synchronous signal limiter device 200, therefore, related description is not just given unnecessary details in addition in this.
In the foregoing description, storage element 216 is a line buffer, its buffer depth equals the predetermined total number of sample points of a scan line, therefore, under ideal state, the sampled data of a scan line of every input, result after then storage element 216 sampled data that can just store this scan line is handled via infinite impulse response filter, yet, (for example the source of video input S_IN is cassette tape formula image record/play machine (videocassette recorder if the scanning line period (line period) of video input S_IN is unstable, VCR), therefore tend to be subject to the self character of reading mechanism and cause the scanning line period instability) or produce change (for example the source of video input S_IN is not that normal video output is provided), therefore under same sample frequency, article one, the actual samples point of scan line sum can be not equal to predetermined total number of sample points (that is buffer depth of line buffer), the situation that can cause this moment video input S_IN and result D_IIR to align, may make the signal quality deteriorates of the filtering output S_OUT that filtration module 202 produced (that is Filtering Processing cross video input S_IN) on the contrary, therefore, the present invention discloses a kind of adaptability (adaptive) Filtering Processing mechanism in addition, and it can dynamically select suitable Filtering Processing mode for use according to judgment standard.
