Does the ADV7511 supports Interlaced Video Format?

Category: Datasheet/Specs
Product Number: ADV7511

Does the ADV7511 supports interlaced video format. There is not field option.

  • Hi,

    ADV7511 is a high speed High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) transmitter that is capable of supporting an input data rate up to 165MHz (1080p @ 60Hz, UXGA @ 60Hz) and an output data rate up to 225MHz and it can support format as long as clock doesn't exceed.
    Kindly note that, 480i and 576i have a 13.5MHz pixel clock. The HDMI spec. has a minimum TMDS clock of 20MHz.  Therefore to meet HDMI specs, 480i pixels are replicated and sent out with a 27MHz clock and these register been available at ADV7511W Programming Guide
    The sink then will throw away the duplicated pixels and output the expected 13.5MHz pixel stream.  This is where the reference to the 2X clock comes from. ADV7511 can handle the 13.5MHz clock just fine and then perform the 2x pixel rep. as needed.

    A trivia fact: the 7511 can operate below the 20MHz limit, ie 13.5MHz but the monitor may have problems working with it.  We have some monitors that work fine with HDMI clocks of 13.5MHz and some don't.

  • Hi,

    Thanks for the information. 

    But for Interlaced Video do we have to specifically configure any registers. Currently we are configuring below registers which worked for Progressive video

    Register  Value

    0x41      0x80
    0x98      0x03
    0x9A      0x70
    0x9C     0x30
    0x9D     0x61
    0xA2     0xA4
    0xA3     0xA4
    0xE0     0xD0
    0xF9     0x00
    0x15     0x01
    0x16     0x38
    0x17     0x00
    0x18     0xC6
    0x40     0x80
    0x4C    0x04
    0x48     0x08
    0x55     0x20

    And for interlaced there is mainly mention of DE embedded sync generation register.

    Thanks.

  • Hi, 

    By using 0x3C[5:0] register, the VIC can be programmed including interlaced format.

  • Hi,

    We tried with configuring the register, but it is not working.

    We are trying for STANAG-B format (416 * 575) resolution. We used VTC IP for generating the Active_Video_out, hsync and vsync for HDMI signals.

    Field frequency is 50Hz and Frame frequency is 25Hz.

    We are providing the clock as 16Mhz to HDMI.

    Thanks

  • Hi,

       Kindly note that, Its not possible to support 'STANAG' over ADV7511 chipset .

      Try to check the same with 'ADV7180' as an A/D and ADV734X or ADV739X as a D/A convertor.

      Also note that, It's not possible to transmit 16Mhz clock in HDMI interface, the Spec says the TMDS clock must be greater than or equal to 20MHz.

    In order to support that format, We need to do pixel repetition (PR) to get the TMDS clock rate above the 20MHz limit.

    Thanks,
