Hello,
We are starting a new design with a ADV7401 and ADV8005 to convert VGA to Composite like in the following topology.
Analog VGA -> ADV7401 (pixel output) -> 24-bit RGB SDR -> ADV8005 (pixel input) -> DAC1 (Composite)
From the ADV7401 manual it is clear that the RGB pixel output should be mapped to R[29:22], G[19:12] and B[9:2], however I'm not sure if we connecting this to the ADV8005 correct. From the Software Reference Manual (p.143) it shows that the VID_FORMAT_SEL[4:0] can be configured for "3 x 8-bit buses, SDR 4:4:4 (P[35:28], P[23:16], P[11:4])".
Is it correct to connect R[29:22] to P[35:28], G[19:12 to P[23:16] and B[9:2] to P[11:4]? I think it is then necessary to convert the RGB to YUV by setting the Color Space Coefficients to the "RGB (limited) to SDTV YCbCr" values as shown in table on p.88, but please correct me if I am wrong.
Also, are there any registers script files for initializing the ADV8005? These have been very helpful in the past when getting started with decoders, but I didn't see anything like this in Advantiv EVAL-ADV8005-SMZ Video Evaluation Board
Best Regards,
Matthew
