Description
Chrontel’s CH7001C VGA to NTSC/PAL encoder is a
stand-alone integrated circuit that converts analog VGA
inputs directly into 525-line (M) NTSC or 625-line
(B, D, G, H, I) PAL composite video and S-video
outputs.
This circuit integrates a digital NTSC/PAL encoder
with 8-bit ADC and DAC interfaces, a 3-line vertical
filter and low-jitter phase-locked loop to create
outstanding quality video with 24-bits-per-pixel proces-
sing throughout the entire signal path.
A high level of integration and performance makes the
CH7001C ideal for a variety of stand-alone and system-
level integration solutions, including notebook
computers and PC add-on graphics cards.
