2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a digital video signal processing apparatus used in a broadcasting station or the like is composed of individual dedicated processing units according to the purpose of processing a video signal. For this reason, as the number of processing items increases, the number of units also increases, and the entire apparatus becomes large. Along with this, a great deal of labor is required for construction work for realizing target processing functions such as device design, maintenance, and combination of units.

[0003] Therefore, recently, a digital video processing apparatus which can realize a target processing function by software and does not require a physical connection work has been put into practical use. This device is equipped with a plurality of processing units and a network unit. Each processing unit is provided with a program corresponding to the processing item of the video signal from the outside to realize the desired processing function. By providing a program according to the purpose of signal processing, a connection line connecting the functions obtained by the respective arithmetic processing units is realized.

On the other hand, in order to improve the quality of broadcast video,
Hi-vision systems have been developed. The Hi-Vision system requires an extremely high sampling frequency and various processing functions as compared with the conventional NTSC system or the like. Broadcasting stations and the like tend to handle both the high definition video signal and the conventional video signal. However, the conventional digital video signal processing apparatus has a low degree of freedom in arithmetic processing capability, function change, and system change, and cannot cope with the Hi-Vision system.

[0005] Against this background, there is a strong demand that the digital video signal processing apparatus using software be developed to be compatible with the high-definition system and be used in combination with the conventional system.

[0006]

As described above, the conventional digital video signal processing device has a low processing capability, a small degree of change in functions and a low degree of system change, and cannot cope with the Hi-Vision system.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and can realize high-speed and advanced arithmetic processing, and can improve the degree of freedom in changing functions and systems, thereby achieving a high-vision system. It is an object of the present invention to provide a digital video signal processing device that can also deal with the problem.

And a program for each function for the plurality of operands and selectors. Each table is individually designated, a table is designated according to an instruction from the host control means, a control program is given to a corresponding operand and a selector, and a plurality of constants provided in the arithmetic logic unit and the multiplier are provided. A plurality of constants different from each other are stored in the storage unit, and a constant selection function of switching and using the plurality of constants according to the signal format of the input video signal is provided.

[0009]

In the digital video signal processing apparatus having the above-described configuration, when a specific constant operation is processed for each type of a high-speed digital video signal in which various signals are time-division multiplexed, such as a high definition video, a plurality of operands are stored in advance. A necessary constant is stored in the section, and the plurality of constants are switched and used according to the signal format of the input video signal. At this time, the control program for each operand and selector is tabulated, and the control program is read from the table in accordance with a given instruction, and given to the corresponding operand and selector, thereby reducing the number of bits required for the instruction. .

In FIG. 4, the input processing units 10 (1), 1
0 (2) inputs the 16-bit data IN-A and IN-B of the two internal output channels of the network 4 and performs synchronization flag processing. The synchronization flag is used to synchronize with the preceding circuit, and is used at 8000H (-327).

The selector 11 has two external input channels, nine internal input channels, one external output channel, and fourteen internal output channels for data output. Is selectively switched to an arbitrary channel output.

The output processing section 12 takes in the output data of one channel (16 bits) of the external output channel of the selector 11, performs a synchronization flag process, and sends it out to one internal channel of the network 4. Here, as the synchronization flag processing, when the synchronization is off, the data is replaced with 8001H when the data is 8000H, and when the synchronization is on, the data is forced to 801H.
Replace with 00H.

ALU (arithmetic operation unit) 13 (1), 1
3 (2) takes in the output data of the two channels (24 bits) selected by the selector 11 and performs the arithmetic processing specified by the given program data, and outputs the processing result (24 bits) to the selector 11 To one internal input channel. As the arithmetic processing,
In addition to the usual arithmetic and logic operations, it includes functions of maximum value / minimum value and absolute value calculation often used in TV signal processing, and is processed in 24 bits. If an overflow occurs during a 24-bit operation, it is clipped to the maximum positive or negative value.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, one channel input is a variable delay A1 having a maximum of three taps.
The delay is compensated so as to coincide with the other channel input timing, and is supplied to the arithmetic unit A2 together with the other channel input. Variable amount of variable delay A1 and arithmetic unit A2

Sent to

AU (address operation unit) 14 (1), 14
(2) is used for address calculation for accessing the data memory 9 or for waveform generation. For example, one can perform a horizontal address calculation and the other a vertical address calculation. The output address data of one channel (24 bits) selected by the selector 11 is fetched, the address operation specified by the given program data is performed, and the processing result (24 + 6 bits) is output to the internal input channel of the selector 11. Send to one system.

More specifically, it is configured as shown in FIG. 6, and has an address generation unit B1 therein. The address generator B1 includes an address calculator B11 and an address register bank B12. The address register bank B12 has six operation registers, and together with the address operation unit B11, can perform operations such as addition, subtraction, and １ ／. The operation content is set by the program data.

The address data generated by the address generator B1 is supplied to an internal selector B2 together with external input address data (internal output of the selector 11). The internal selector B2 takes in internally generated address data and external input address data, and selectively derives one of them to the comparator B3 and the address processing section B4 according to the program data.

The comparator B3 compares the input address data with a preset specified value (for example, a maximum or minimum limit value), and if it exceeds the specified value, sets a flag and sends it to the address processing section B4.

This address processing section B4 is replaced with a replacement processing section B4.
1, a shifter section B42 and a mode processing section B43. The replacement processing unit B41 is used, for example, for clipping, and replaces the input address data with a predetermined value according to the flag from the comparator B3. The shifter section B42 is a barrel shifter capable of bit shifting in eight modes, and can arbitrarily set the decimal point position of 24-bit input address data.

The mode processing unit B43 performs through, plus 1, right 1 for the integer part shifted by the shifter unit B42.
Bit shift and LSB processing can be selected, and through and minus can be selected for the decimal part. The selection is performed by program data, and may be fixedly selected or automatically selected based on the calculated LSB of the integer part. The processed data is output after being divided into an integer part of 20 bits and a decimal part of 6 bits. The 6-bit fractional part is used for calculation of adjacent four-point interpolation at the time of reduction / enlargement in digital special effects.

By this mode processing, 4 in the geometric transformation
Calculation of point interpolation can be easily realized. In particular, when sub-sampling is performed at a half of the sampling frequency as in the case of a Y signal of a high-definition television, the "automatic selection mode using the LSB of the integer part" is effective. AU14 (1), 1 by this structure
When 4 (2) is used, the data memory 9 can be accessed in parallel with the data operation.

MPY (multiplier) 15 (1), 15 (2)
Uses a macro cell of 16 × 16 = 32 bits, and can extract 24 bits from 32 bits in three modes. The output data of the two channels (16 bits) selected by the selector 11 are fetched, and both input data are multiplied in a format specified by the given program data.
The result of the operation is input to the internal input channel (1
(6 bits) Transmit to one system.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, one channel input is a variable delay C1 having a maximum of three taps.
The delay is compensated so as to coincide with the other channel input timing, and is supplied to the multiplier C2 together with the other channel input. Variable amount of variable delay C1 and multiplier C2
Are switched according to the program data. The operation result of the multiplier C2 is supplied to the register bank C3.

The register bank C3 has a plurality of (here, six) 24-bit operation registers. One (or two) of them is the global register C31
And the retained data becomes the MPY output,
The other four registers are used as local registers C32, and the held data is used for the operation of the multiplier C2 as necessary.

The global register C31 functions as a pipeline register. The other plurality of local registers C32 are used for storing a plurality of constants such as coefficients. The outputs of the plurality of local registers are selectively selectively applied to a multiplier C2 according to program data by an internal selector C4.

The variable delays 16 (1) and 16 (2) are
The output data of one channel (16 bits) selected by the selector 11 is fetched, the timing is adjusted by 16 taps, and the data is sent to one internal input channel (16 bits) of the selector 11. It is mainly used for delay modulation during multiprocessor operation. Each delay 1
If the selector 11 is assembled so that 6 (1) and 16 (2) are connected in cascade, a 32-tap delay can be realized.

Data memory I / O (interface)
Reference numeral 17 denotes output data of one channel (16 bits) selected by the selector 11 and channels (20 bits)
One line of output address data is fetched, and writing and reading of the data memory 9 are performed according to the program data. The read data and address data are stored in the selector 1

More specifically, as shown in FIG.
6 bits) and address data (20 bits) are bit-shifted by shifters D1 and D2 as necessary, and one of the bank areas of the data memory 9 is selected by the selectors D3 and D4 according to the program data to write or write. Perform reading.

Here, the data memory 9 has a two-bank configuration (DM-A, DM-B).
It has an address space of KW (1024 KB). At the time of high definition, it can correspond to data of 1/2 field in word and 1 field in byte. With this configuration, for example, a process of reading a motion vector calculated using one data memory (field memory) from the other data memory can be realized in real time, or a conversion process of image signal data can be performed as a lookup table (LUT). It is possible to realize a process of performing the processing in real time.

The selector 11, the ALU 13 (1), 1
3 (2), AU14 (1), 14 (2), MPY15
(1), 15 (2), variable delay 16 (1), 16
(2) The data memory I / Os 17 (hereinafter collectively referred to as operands) are all connected to the internal bus 18. A host I / O 19 and a sequencer 20 are further connected to the internal bus 18.

The host I / O 19 is a host controller 6
Is used to connect the operands of the host computer 3 and the DSP unit 7 to each other. It has two banks of 16 W × 16 bit register groups for transfer with the host.

One bank is suitable for the host, and the two banks are switched by operating the MSB of the 0th register. In addition, by inserting a program start address in the 0th register, a plurality of operations are written in one program memory 8, and only the start address is switched, so that the functions can be switched instantaneously. Normally, such a switching operation is performed in synchronization with vertical blanking and can be performed without affecting the validity period of a video, and the synchronization operation by a plurality of programmable arithmetic units can be easily performed. Can be.

The sequencer 20 is a central part of the control mechanism. The sequencer 20 employs a microprogram control method for performing instruction latch, decode, branch control, operand control, and the like by using the program memory 8. It has a structure suitable for video signal processing, such as no pipeline operation and parallel operation of operands. The program is stored in an external program memory 8 and operates in a three-stage pipeline of fetch, decode, and execution in one cycle of 27 ns.

The program memory 8 can be switched between two modes of external 32KW and internal 64W, and the bit width of the microprogram is set to 48 bits. In the external mode, the internal program RAM is used as a cache when a branch instruction is generated, so that a pipe break does not occur even during a branch.

The structure of the 48-bit microinstruction includes a SEQ instruction for performing branch control, a standard configuration instruction in which an FUNC instruction for performing operation control can be independently set in one instruction, and a full-field instruction having an immediate value as an operand. There are two types. The SEQ instruction, unlike a general-purpose processor, has a three-branch structure of repeat, continue, and jump, and repeats the characteristics of image signal processing that often repeats the same processing for each pixel, and conditional branches using the same signal as the operation flag. Are reflected in the continuation and the jump.

The SEQ command includes an RST command for starting a program and a P command for a subroutine.
When handling time-division multiplexed signals such as USH, POP instructions, and standard TV component signals at a high definition rate, F for controlling all operands simultaneously.
There is an NC instruction.

Here, the program memory 8 and the sequencer 20 are conceptually configured as shown in FIG. 9 and look-up tables LUT1 to LUT for each operand.
9 is provided. Each table stores program data for each function. The sequencer 20 identifies the function index data for each table from the host instruction, reads the corresponding program data from each table, and sends out the corresponding program data to each operand through the internal bus 18. The sequencer 20 can also rewrite function-specific program data in each table according to a control signal.

As described above, by specifying one of the control tables for each operand by the index, 1
An index for a plurality of operands in an instruction is realized without increasing the instruction bit width. With this instruction, R
At the time of time axis multiplexed low-speed signal processing such as a GB signal, processing for each signal of RGB can be changed,
One DSP unit can handle this.

In the DSP unit 7, two data formats of 16 bits and 24 bits are mixed. There are two types of data format conversion during this period, the standard transfer mode and the extended transfer mode, and sufficient accuracy can be ensured.

For example, in the standard transfer mode, as shown in FIG. 10, 4-bit code extension data is added before 16-bit data, and 4-bit 0 data is added after that.
Convert to 4-bit data format. After the operation, 16-bit data is extracted by truncating the front and rear bits. In the extended transfer mode, as shown in FIG.
It is divided into bits, and a non-writable area corresponding to 16 bits is provided in the middle, and converted into a 24-bit data format. After the operation, only the 4 bits before and after are extracted and converted into 8-bit data.

Although not described in detail, the DSP unit further includes a line memory drive circuit, a circuit for supporting program debugging, and a synchronization circuit for parallel operation of a plurality of processors.

Here, in the conventional digital video signal processing apparatus, a large number of arithmetic units (operands) having different functions are connected by a fixed path to form a pipeline. Such a circuit may perform only one kind of signal processing, but if a plurality of functions are realized by pressing switches according to an operation on an operation panel, circuits corresponding to the number of functions must be prepared. .

Therefore, in the present invention, a plurality of arithmetic units are connected in a variable pipeline structure in which the number of pipes can be changed, and a single circuit can cope with a plurality of different functions by changing the connection. As shown in FIG. 7, variable delays A1 and C1 are provided on one operand input line, and register banks A3 and C3 are provided on an output line.

According to this structure, it is possible to connect arbitrary arithmetic units by the selector 11. For example, the functional block of output = (input 1) + (constant) × (input 2) is as shown in FIG.
This is realized by connecting the selector 11 as shown in FIG. 12B using (1) and the MPY 15 (1). Further, the functional block of output = (input 1) × (constant 1) + (input 2) × (constant 2) is as shown in FIG. 12 (c).
Are connected as shown in FIG. 12 (d).

As can be seen from FIG. 12, two different types of arithmetic processing can be realized by a single circuit by changing the connection. That is, an arbitrary circuit can be realized by adopting the variable pipeline structure. In FIG. 12A, two pipes,
In (c), there are three pipes, and the number of pipes can be arbitrarily set. In order to absorb the path difference (difference in the cumulative number of latches) generated when this connection is changed, the input variable delay A
1, C3 works effectively.

Therefore, by adopting the above-mentioned variable pipeline structure, an arbitrary circuit can be realized by a single circuit by changing the connection of the selector 11, thereby improving the versatility and increasing the use efficiency of the arithmetic unit. it can.

By the way, in general, when an operation such as gain control is performed on a low-speed signal such as NTSC, for example, as shown in FIG. Is realized using a multiplier). However, in order to perform an operation on a high-speed signal in which different signals are time-division multiplexed as in a high-definition television, if the type is n times that of a low-speed signal, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3B, an n-fold circuit is required. In order to solve this problem, in the present invention, as described above, the arithmetic units can be easily assembled, so that a single circuit can execute n types of arithmetic processing by the following method.

Now, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), the image signal of the high-vision system is interleaved every other sample at 1/2 rate to obtain input 1 and input 2, and input 1 has coefficient 1 and input 2 Is multiplied by 2 and the result is shown in FIG.
Consider the case of outputting as shown in FIG.

In this case, DS in the programmable arithmetic unit
The P unit 7 is configured as shown in FIG. First, the coefficients 1 and 2 of the plurality of local registers of the multiplier 15 (1) are stored in advance, and the stored coefficients 1 and 2 are alternately switched and output at the same rate as the inputs 1 and 2 by the internal selector C4. . Coefficients 1 and 2 thus read alternately
Is sent to the multiplier 15 (1). In the multiplier 15 (1), the input signal sent from the selector 11 is delay-controlled by the variable delay C1, and the multiplication process is performed by making the timing coincide with the coefficient input. As a result, the inputs 1 and 2 are respectively subjected to different gain controls, and are externally output through the selector 11 in a format as shown in FIG.

Here, the sequencer 20 must provide different control program data for each clock to one multiplier 15 (1). However, when many operands are used, the control output from the sequencer 20 becomes large. The number of bits is enormous. Therefore, as described with reference to FIG. 9, if each control content is tabulated and stored in the program memory 8 for each operand, it is possible to switch to any control content only by giving the index of the corresponding table bank from the sequencer 20. Can be.

In this case, if the number of operands is m,
The control content can be represented by the number of bits of m × (log ₂ n). Generally, the control content may be 20 bits or more. On the other hand, the maximum table index is about 8 bits, that is, about 3 bits, and the number of bits of instruction data for the sequencer 20 can be greatly reduced.

Therefore, if the high-speed operand of the programmable arithmetic unit and the control unit having the table structure are used as described above, it is possible to perform different processing in real time on a plurality of input signals which are multiplexed and input on a time axis and output the signals in real time. it can. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize high-speed and high-level arithmetic processing, and to improve the degree of freedom in changing functions and systems, thereby enabling a high-definition digital system.
