The GS9021 implements error detection and handling (EDH) according to SMPTE RP-165. Interfacing to the parallel inputs of either the GS9002, GS9022 or GS9032 serial digital encoders, the GS9021 is primarily used on the transmit end of the SDI interface. The GS9021 provides EDH insertion and extraction for 4fsc NTSC, 4fsc PAL and all component PAL and NTSC standards including 4:2:2 (13.5MHz and 18MHz luminance sampling), and 4:4:4:4.
The GS9021 generates noise immune timing signals such as horizontal sync, vertical blanking and field ID. In addition, TRS-ID correction/insertion and data blanking are implemented for all standards.
A host interface, configurable as an 8-bit parallel interface or an I²C (I²C is a registered trademark of Philips) serial interface allows for communication with a microcontroller. The interface can be used to read and/or write the complete set of error flags and override the flag status prior to re-transmission. A 5-bit flag port provides access to all error flags on dedicated pins for applications where the microcontroller is not used. The device automatically determines the operating standard, but this can be overridden through the programming interface.
