ADV7188
COMB FILTERS
The comb filters of the ADV7188 have been greatly improved to
automatically handle video of all types, standards, and levels of
quality. The NTSC and PAL configuration registers allow the
user to customize comb filter operation, depending on which
video standard is detected (by autodetection) or selected (by
manual programming). In addition to the bits listed in this
section, there are some other ADI internal controls; contact
ADI for more information.

Used for NTSC-M/J CVBS inputs.
NSFSEL[1:0] Split Filter Selection NTSC, Address 0x19 [3:2]
NSFSEL[1:0] selects how much of the overall signal bandwidth
is fed to the combs. A narrow bandwidth split filter gives better
performance on diagonal lines, but leaves more dot crawl in the
final output image. The opposite is true for a wide bandwidth
split filter.
