2 Seek Mode Override
This bit is used to either allow or disallow the low-power
mode. The low-power mode (seek mode) occurs when
there are no signals on any of the Sync inputs.

7-3 Sync-on-Green Slicer Threshold
This register allows the comparator threshold of the Sync-
on-Green slicer to be adjusted. This register adjusts it in
steps of 10 mV, with the minimum setting equaling 10 mV
and the maximum setting equaling 330 mV.
The default setting is 23 and corresponds to a threshold
value of 0.15 V.
2 Red Clamp Select
A bit that determines whether the red channel is clamped
to ground or to midscale. For RGB video, all three chan-
nels are referenced to ground. For YcbCr (or YUV), the
Y channel is referenced to ground, but the CbCr channels
are referenced to midscale. Clamping to midscale actually
clamps to Pin 37.

7:0 Sync Separator Threshold
This register is used to set the responsiveness of the sync
separator. It sets how many internal 5 MHz clock periods
the sync separator must count to before toggling high or
low. It works like a low-pass filter to ignore Hsync pulses
in order to extract the Vsync signal. This register should
be set to some number greater than the maximum Hsync
pulse width. Note: the sync separator threshold uses an
internal dedicated clock with a frequency of approxi-
mately 5 MHz.
The default for this register is 32.
7-0 Pre-Coast
This register allows the coast signal to be applied prior to
the Vsync signal. This is necessary in cases where pre-
equalization pulses are present. The step size for this
control is one Hsync period.
The default is 0.
7-0 Post-Coast
This register allows the coast signal to be applied follow-
ing to the Vsync signal. This is necessary in cases where
post-equalization pulses are present. The step size for this
control is one Hsync period.
The default is 0.
7 Hsync Detect
This bit is used to indicate when activity is detected on
the Hsync input pin, (Pin 30). If Hsync is held high or
low, activity will not be detected.

6 AHS – Active Hsync
This bit indicates which Hsync input source is being used
by the PLL (Hsync input or sync-on-green). Bits 7 and 1
in this register are what determine which source is used. If
both Hsync and SOG are detected, the user can determine
which has priority via Bit 3 in register 0EH. The user can
override this function via Bit 4 in register 0EH. If the
override bit is set to Logic 1, then this bit will be forced to
whatever the state of Bit 3 in register 0EH is set to.
