Zusammenfassung: | A circuit for digitizing an analog video signal using a sample clock signal having an active sample edge, said analog video signal being characterized by a horizontal sync pulse followed by at least one pixel, comprising a phase-locked loop for receiving said horizontal sync pulse and in response generating said sample clock signal at a frequency N times greater than said horizontal sync pulse, said phase-locked loop including a feedback path having a divider for frequency dividing said sample clock signal by N; a first circuit for detecting said at least one pixel and in response generating at least one modified pixel representing an active region of said at least one pixel; a second circuit for receiving and comparing said sample clock signal and said modified pixel and in response generating a control signal representing a degree of phase difference between said sample clock signal and said modified pixel signal; a programmable delay line having a signal input connected to an output of said divider in said feedback path of the phase-locked loop and having a control input connected to said second circuit for receiving said control signal and in response phase shifting said sample clock signal so that said active sample edge is temporally aligned with said active region of said at least one pixel; and an analog-to-digital converter for receiving said sample clock signal and in response digitizing said analog video signal.
Circuit de numérisation d'un signal vidéo analogique au moyen d'un signal échantillon d'horloge ayant un front d'impulsion d'échantillonnage actif. Le signal vidéo analogique se caractérise par une impulsion de synchronisation horizontale suivie d'au moins un premier pixel, comprenant une boucle à phase asservie qui permet de recevoir l'impulsion de synchronisation horizontale et produisant en réponse le signal échantillon d'horloge, à une fréquence N fois plus élevée que l'impulsion de synchronisation horizontale. La boucle à phase asservie comporte une voie de rétroaction comprenant un diviseur de fréquence qui divise par N la fréquence du signal échantillon d'horloge. Un premier circuit détecte ledit pixel, au moins, et produit en réponse un ou plusieurs pixels modifiés qui représentent une zone active dudit premier pixel, au moins. Un deuxième circuit, après avoir reçu et comparé le signal échantillon d'horloge et ledit pixel modifié, produit en réponse un signal de commande représentant un degré de la différence de phase entre le si |
