-ISO/IEC 11172-1 packet;
-support 4: 2: 2 chromium forms, the 1PB data are up to 50Mb/s.
The MPEG packed data inputs to the internal processor of mpeg decoder chip by 84,86 (they have set up the serial I/O on bus 130, this bus 130 is one 16 bit data bus, is shared by asynchronous read and write) of FPGA.Position and display buffer can dynamically be adjusted size, and are arranged in the RAM 133 of mpeg decoder special use.RAM can constitute for example 4: 2: 0, D1; 4: 2: 2, D1; Or 4: 2: 2, full CCIR 601 resolution.
In the above-described embodiments, audio/video decoder 20 has the work clock of a 27MHz, and it adopts the VCXO/ systematic synchronous circuit that is positioned at interface switch 24 to realize.The inside PLL circuit that the specific clock of Voice ﹠ Video passes through mpeg decoder produces.Audio frequency PCM clock and 256fs clock (256 times sample frequencys) are output the A/V cross point switches 30 to interface switch 24.VCXO/ system synchronization function is returned all mpeg decoders 20 and is produced vertical and horizontal-drive signal.
The software programming that audio level is regulated IC by the decay register of mpeg decoder and/or the programming audio level that is positioned at interface switch 24 is controlled.Control 10 more detailed block diagrams are shown in Fig. 3.
With reference to figure 4, interface switch 24 slave controllers 10 or receive decoded digital audio/video data from other decode system 10a and/or Movie-2 bus interface 34.Digital audio and video switch with the cross point switches array 30 of Reprogrammable.Audio/video signal can be from decoder on (1) plate, (2) another decode system, or (3) Movie-2 bus interface switches to: output circuit on (1) plate, (2) another decode system, or (3) Movie-2 bus interface.Output can be broadcasting-quality analogue audio frequency, AES/EBU digital audio, broadcasting-quality analog video and SMPTE serial D 1 (digital composition) video.Interface switch 24 also be provided for all video channels line lock GENLOCK and be used for the GENLOCK of the color locking of analog video passage.
The cross point switches 30 of Reprogrammable is used for constructing the connection of the audio/video output 36 of decoder 20 again.Each MPEG on circuit 36 separates device Voice ﹠ Video output (from main decoder or from decoder) can be connected to one of the simulation of interface switch and/or numeral output 26.This switching layout is provided for the Promgramming of whole broadcast industry and the function of preview.It also provides from subcard and receives and send the ability of signal to it, and receives and to its ability that sends signal from Movie-2 bus 70, and the ability of various aerial, online and off-line editing and effects also is provided.
Use above-mentioned structure, equipment of the present invention provides the ability of playing the mpeg file of any kind that is right after other file thereafter.Transition between file is seamless, and is combined with interface switch 24 by CPU built-in in the controller 12 and to control.Specifically, first mpeg stream is stored in the CPU memory 14, and decodes with one of decoder 20.When playing this stream, second data flow is stored in the CPU memory 14, can be used for the decoding of other decoder 20 of controller 10.In the correct time, second stream begins to play by the action of cross point switches array 30.For example, this array is seamless and switch to second inlet flow continuously with first inlet flow on the circuit 36, thus to the output of analog/digital audio/video output 26 in transition seamlessly when first inlet flow switches to second inlet flow.
In addition, the flexibility of decoder 20 is enough to the form of processing variation.They not only can handle different pattern of the inputs, and multiple output format can be provided.As the example of this system flexibility, two decoders can be operated simultaneously to different inlet flows, and the output from each switch to crosspoint switching array 30 can be connected to correct outlet line 26 on the circuit 36.Transition when therefore, the invention provides a plurality of stream between the output of output, a stream and two stream.
As mentioned above, all inlet flows can be synchronous with identical reference clock, thereby utilize GENLOCK signal and circuit, can make them synchronous mutually.In addition, structure of the present invention can be used for making a stream by preview, and other stream is play as output, i.e. broadcasting.The stream of preview can directly point to the Movie-2 bus or point at being positioned at for example output that separates of the display monitor of studio.In this way, different video flowings can be examined, and exports known stream simultaneously and broadcasts.In these examples with reference to figure 1, adopted second decode system, and utilized best control element with the MS master-slave relational operation, can obtain greater flexibility.
The Movie-2 bus functionality
Movie-2 bus 70 provides the passive rear interface 34 of standard, increases special feature with the output to decoder.Mixing, 2D video effect and linearity and alpha keying (keying) are several functions that can add.The Movie-2 bus is positioned on the interface switch, wherein utilizes cross point switches 30 and the FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) that is positioned at interface FPGA 241 to handle I/O.
Interface EPLD
Interface EPLD 243 provides two YUV passages to the parallel D1 conversion of SMPTE-125 (for the data that send to D1 digital video transducer), video GENLOCK PLL control, video Hsync, Vsync and frame regularly, the audio pack of built-in SMPTE-125, LITC data input and output form and multiple hardwares control.Multiple hardwares control is communicated by letter with control 10 by serial I/O (SIO) bus 270.
Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 are the more detailed illustrative (interface switch FPGA) of interface switch.
Video GENLOCK PLL control
With reference to figure 7, FPGA is used to provide the video GENLOCK control of VCXO 293 and external reference 284 on the plate.Inner VCXO locks with external video Hsync on frequency and phase place.If external clock reference does not exist, control voltage is set to the frequency of the intermediate range of VCXO.
System GENLOCK uses VCXO clock source 293, and FPGA and 12 bit digital are to simulation (D/A) transducer 290.All phase locking information are arranged in FPGA.D/A converter 290 each horizontal synchronizing cycle upgrade.D/A converter is approximately responding in the 16-32 microsecond by changing the analog control voltage that exports VCXO 293 on its via line 292.FPGA sets up the horizontal synchronization (Hout) (and all other video regularly) of an output according to the VCXO clock frequency.
The horizontal synchronization (Hout) of output is handled by two steps and is locked onto the horizontal synchronization of sending here (Hin).Each step uses Digital Logic to produce desired response.
At first, with reference to figure 9, can be with automatic detection external source (step 500) time, frequency detector 296 be measured Hin cycle (step 502) of a plurality of 27Mhz clock samplings.Regulate VCXO 293 then till the clock number of every row is correct (for NTSC is 1716, is 1728 for PAL) (step 504).
Second step of phase-locked processing is regulating frequency and the phase place (step 506) of aiming at Hout and Hin also.This be by at first with Hout and Hin (step 508) synchronously, then D/A 290 (step 510) is measured and regulated to the clock sampling of each detected phase difference.Adopt " seizures " (snap) algorithm with the realization minimum alignment time.This algorithm is based on phase-lock mode continuous or simulation.Because two signals are on phase place " slip " each other, phase-locked loop is attempted " pulling " or is regulated VCXO.When state that the VCXO frequency equates by Hout and Hin, the direction of " slip " will change.In Fig. 8, explain frequency/phase detector 296.
Continuous system goes up the frequency increment that equates by regulating VCXO with every circuit time and is similar to.In this way, the rate of change of frequency is linear.When the slope of frequency change is zero, just reach required frequency.When VCXO is conditioned, phase difference just will begin and return the threshold value of a setting in the short time.Locking frequency is the frequency mid point between the threshold frequency.(this is that slope is zero point.) this frequency is loaded in the D/A converter when next phase difference is zero, makes " seizure " effect reach desired frequency.
In addition, reduction of the present invention and other modification also are conspicuous for a person skilled in the art.
