1-3-3. Video Signal System
DCP-64 Board
The camera microcomputer SUN (IC702) performs the overall camera control, and is controlled by the system
microcomputer (IC2100: MELON) on the DPR-355 board. SUN's peripheral ICs FLASH ROM (IC701) and SDRAM
(IC700) are mounted on the DCP-64 board.
The digital video signal (Y/C) sent from the camera signal processor IC (IC101: RISE) on the VPR-124 board is input
to the baseband processing IC T-ONE (IC900).
The baseband processing IC T-ONE that incorporates scaler functions (supporting multi-format output), OSD, PLL (54
to 74 MHz), and CPU performs baseband processing for video and audio signals.
The baseband signal processed by T-ONE is sent to the router IC ANDV (IC1700), and is then distributed to inputs and
outputs. The following table lists inputs and outputs of the baseband processing IC T-ONE.
Signal name and input/output
HD/SD digital component signal
Output to the router IC (Used for outputting SDI/HDMI/VIDEO OUT (without characters))
HD/SD analog component signal
Output through the A/D converter (IC805) to the router IC (Used for outputting SDI/HDMI/VIDEO OUT (with
characters))
Analog composite signal
Output to the IO-260 board
Video signal for LCDVF
Output through the CN-3634 board to the LCD
Video signal for CODEC
Output through the router IC to the CODEC (IC500: NATH) on the DPR-355 board
Return video signal
Input from the router IC
Audio interface signal
Output to the AU-357 board
The peripheral circuit of the baseband processing IC T-ONE contains the following circuit and devices.
Master clock 54 MHz VCXO (X1400) control circuit (including IC1401)
Mobile DDR SDRAM (IC1100, IC1101)
FLASH ROM (IC1201) and SDRAM (IC1200) as peripheral ICs of the internal CPU
1-3-4. Media Recording/Playback System
DPR-355 Board
Output signals from the baseband processor IC (IC900) on the DCP-64 board are transferred to the router IC ANDV
(IC1700) and the selector IC CAVS (IC100) on the DPR-355 board, and are then input to the MPEG encoder/decoder
NATH (IC500) or the media block controller (IC1000).
The MPEG encoder/decoder (IC500) is a single-chip MPEG CODEC IC that encodes and decodes high-quality HD
image and audio signals in real time. It has various interfaces with MPEG video bitstream and baseband video input/
output.
The media block controller (IC1000) processes these signals and then files them, and writes the file data to the SxS
memory card through the SWC-56 board or the EC-78 board with the PCI-Express interface.
This controller performs operation opposite to this procedure in the playback mode.
Furthermore, the media block controller (IC1000) has an internal CPU and a USB device controller for router IC CAVS
(IC100) control, serial communication with the system controller (IC2100), and data communication with each controller
through the PCI bus.
