PW_UPD Peak White Update, Address 0x2B [0]
The peak white and average video algorithms determine the
gain based on measurements taken from the active video. The
PW_UPD bit determines the rate of gain change. LAGC[2:0]
must be set to the appropriate mode to enable the peak white or
average video mode in the first place.

For more information, refer to the LAGC[2:0] Luma Automatic
Gain Control, Address 0x2C [6:4] section.
0—Updates the gain once per video line.
1 (default)—Updates the gain once per field.
Chroma Gain
CAGC[1:0] Chroma Automatic Gain Control,
Address 0x2C [1:0]
These two bits select the basic mode of operation for automatic
gain control in the chroma path.
Table 44. CAGC Function
CAGC[1:0]
Description
00
Manual fixed gain (use CMG[11:0]).
01
Use luma gain for chroma.
10 (default)
Automatic gain (based on color burst).
11
Freeze chroma gain.

CAGT[1:0] Chroma Automatic Gain Timing,
Address 0x2D [7:6]
This register allows the user to influence the tracking speed of
the chroma automatic gain control. It has an effect only if the
CAGC[1:0] register is set to 10 (automatic gain).

[7:0]; CMG[11:0] Chroma Manual Gain, Address 0x2D [3:0];
Address 0x2E [7:0]
CG[11:0] is a dual-function
register. If written to, a desired
manual chroma gain can be programmed. This gain becomes
active if the CAGC[1:0] mode is switched to manual fixed gain.
Refer to Equation 4 for calculating a desired gain. If read back,
the register returns the current gain value. Depending on the
setting in the CAGC[1:0] bits, this is either
Betacam (mV)
0 to 714 (incl. 7.5% pedestal)
–467 to +467
286
Betacam Variant (mV)
0 to 714
–505 to +505
286
SMPTE (mV)
0 to 700
–350 to +350
300
MII (mV)
0 to 700 (incl. 7.5% pedestal)
–324 to +324
300
Chroma manual gain value (CAGC[1:0] set to chroma
manual gain mode)
Chroma automatic gain value (CAGC[1:0] set to any of the
automatic modes)

For example, freezing the automatic gain loop and reading back
the CG[11:0] register results in a value of 0x47A.
1.
Convert the readback value to decimal:
0x47A = 1146d
2.
Apply Equation 4 to convert the readback value:
1146/1024 = 1.12
CKE Color Kill Enable, Address 0x2B [6]
This bit allows the optional color kill function to be switched on
or off. For QAM-based video standards (PAL and NTSC) and
FM-based systems (SECAM), the threshold for the color kill
decision is selectable via the CKILLTHR[2:0] bits.
