ADV7180
BETACAM, Enable Betacam Levels, Address 0x01 [5]
If YPrPb data is routed through the ADV7180, the automatic
gain control modes can target different video input levels, as
outlined in Table 40. Note that the BETACAM bit is valid only if
the input mode is YPrPb (component). The BETACAM bit sets
the target value for AGC operation.
A review of the following sections is useful:
MAN_MUX_EN, Manual Input Muxing Enable,
Address 0xC4 [7] for how component video (YPrPb)
can be routed through the ADV7180.
Video Standard Selection to select the various standards,
for example, with and without pedestal.
The automatic gain control (AGC) algorithms adjust the levels
based on the setting of the BETACAM bit (see Table 38).

PW_UPD, Peak White Update, Address 0x2B [0]
The peak white and average video algorithms determine the
gain based on measurements taken from the active video. The
PW_UPD bit determines the rate of gain change. LAGC[2:0]
must be set to the appropriate mode to enable the peak white or
average video mode in the first place. For more information,
refer to the LAGC[2:0], Luma Automatic Gain Control,
Address 0x2C [6:4] section.
Setting PW_UPD to 0 updates the gain once per video line.
Setting PW_UPD to 1 (default) updates the gain once per field.
Chroma Gain
CAGC[1:0], Chroma Automatic Gain Control,
Address 0x2C [1:0]
The two bits of color automatic gain control mode select the
basic mode of operation for automatic gain control in the
chroma path.
