1. Introduction The Altera Video Input Daughter Card (Figure 1 1) is an add-on peripheral development platform for Altera Development Kit boards. The daughter card enables users to incorporate live video into the applications developed on the Cyclone II family of FPGAs. Figure 1 1. Video Input Daughter Card The following topics introduce the card, present its key features, including a block diagram of the circuit board, and describe basic operations of the card: Key Features Functional Overview Basic Operation Key Features The video input daughter card, which incorporates two Texas Instruments TVP5146 video decoders suitable for a wide variety of video applications, includes the following key features: Two independent 10-bit Texas Instruments TVP5146 video decoders (Table 1 1) NTSC/PAL/SECAM video input support I2C-configurable control registers Two RCA input connectors Direct connection to Santa Cruz interface headers On-board power regulators for direct connection to the Santa Cruz interface Altera Corporation 1 1 November 2006
Introduction Table 1 1.

The daughter card accepts NTSC, PAL, or SECAM video on two independent inputs, J1 and J41, and produces digital-encoded video outputs to the Santa Cruz interface connectors J3, J4,and J5. Figure 1 2. Block Diagram J1 J41 1.8V Supply Video In CLK1 TVP5416 U1 Video In Y0:Y9 HSYNC VSYNC J4 CLK2 J5 Y0:Y9 HSYNC VSYNC TVP5416 U41 I 2 C Bus J3 TP43 TP41 TP42 The daughter card provides two entirely independent channels. Each of the two decoders uses a separate 14.31818 MHz crystal oscillator and initializes from a separate I2C address via an I2C interface (J5). By incorporating two totally independent channels, the daughter card significantly increases the flexibility of applications. For example, the two independent channels enable the use of picture-in-picture and surveillance functions or automotive front-and-rear camera applications. The card imposes no additional power requirements on the designer. The Santa Cruz interface connectors supply power to the card directly and on-board voltage regulators provide the 1.8 -volt core voltage required by the TVP5146 devices. 1 2 Reference Manual Altera Corporation Video Input Daughter Card November 2006
Introduction Basic Operation The video input daughter card is a peripheral device used by the Altera Cyclone II DSP series of FPGA development platforms. After installation of the daughter card on the development platform and downloading one of the hardware reference designs provided, the FPGA initializes the decoders via the I2C interface. When live video from a DVD or camera connected to the J1 or J41 RCA-type connector appears at the daughter card input, the daughter card produces encoded video output in digital format on the Santa Cruz interface connector. 1 It is important to understand that this daughter card is a peripheral device to the FPGA development platform and that it is the Cyclone II FPGA that implements the I2C controller and video processing functions. The Video Input Daughter Card Development Kit includes an installation CD with reference designs for the DSP Development Kit, Cyclone II Edition (either EP2C35 or EP2C70).

Board Description I2C Addressing When a reference design is loaded, an I2C controller in the FPGA initializes the TVP5146 decoders. In typical dual-channel applications, both channels would load the same configuration to enable the video interface connectors to accept input from two video sources of the same type. However, because the decoders are totally independent, this is not a requirement with the video input daughter card. Each decoder, marked U1 and U41 on the board and schematics, includes the base address (Table 2 1) hardwired, except for the least significant address bit (LSB). The LSB is strapped HIGH for U1 via R5 and strapped LOW for U41 via R44. The decoder captures the LSB via the I2CA pin (pin 37) at reset. Table 2 1. Decoder Base Addresses Designator Video Input Channel Base I2C Address U1 J1 0xBA U41 J41 0xB8 The TVP5146 decoder has up to 256 addressable control registers, many of them unreserved. Most of these do not require initialization in normal applications. 1 For more information on programming the decoder, please refer to the TVP5146 data sheet from Texas Instruments. Decoder Output Mapping The Santa Cruz interface specifies three connectors, J1, J2, and J3 for daughter card interfacing. The Dual Decoder Daughter Card uses the Santa Cruz interface to output 10-bit digital video. The Santa Cruz interface specifies three connectors, J1, J2, and J3 to connect a daughter card to the connections. The tables below show the mapping of pins from the two TVP5146 decoders to the Santa Cruz connectors.
