Description of operation
1. Explanation of Video Section
The video section comprises of 12 high impedance (120kΩ) inputs switched through to 8 video outputs. A
+6dB internal amplifier is connected to each output. The amplifier is required to compensate for the 6dB
attenuation which occurs at the external emitter follower stage used for driving video loads. The typical
external configuration is shown in Fig. 1-1.
A Y/C mixer can be used for mixing Luma and Chroma signals for use with an external RF modulator
connected to Vout8. The Y/C mixer is controllable via the I2C data bus. The circuit is shown in Fig. 1-2 with a
trap circuit used to give 3dB attenuation at 4.43MHz of the Luma signal.
