描述 Description

Bt848 is a complete, low cost single-chip solution for analog NTSC/PAL/SECAM video capture on the PCI bus. As a bus master, Bt848 does not require any local memory buffers to store video pixel data which significantly minimizes the hardware cost for this architecture. Bt848 takes advantage of the PCI-based system’s high bandwidth and inherent multimedia capability. It is designed to be interoperable with any other PCI multimedia device at the component or board level, thus enabling video capture and overlay capability to be added to PCI systems in a modular fashion at low cost. The Bt848 solution is independent of the PCI system bus topology and may be used in a variety of system bus organizations: directly on a motherboard planar bus, on a card for a planar or secondary bus.
The Bt848A/849A are fully backward compatible enhancements to the Bt848. The Bt848A and 849A both include all the functionality of the Bt848, while adding support for peaking, single crystal operation, and digital camera support.Distinguishing
