1.9 Teletext
Teletext encoding is accomplished via a two-wire interface, TTXDAT and
TTXREQ, and internal registers that are programmed through the I
2
C interface.
Teletext encoding in the Bt864A/865A conforms to Teletext B for 625/50
television systems. See
“
Recommendation 653-1 Teletext Systems
”
for further
information about the standard. Teletext should be disabled for 525-line television
systems.
The internal registers allow for the enable/disable of teletext and the
programming of the start and stop of the TTXREQ signal, the active teletext lines
in an FIELD 1, and the active teletext lines in FIELD 2. Active teletext lines
override closed caption, Macrovision, the BLANK* input, and active video. See
the
“
Internal Registers
”
section for more details.
The TTXREQ signal is generated by the encoder to indicate to external
devices when teletext data is required. The start and end of the TTXREQ signal
waveform is determined by the value of registers TXHS and TXHE, respectively.
The values of registers TXHS and TXHE correspond to the internal clock (CLK)
counter (see
Figure 1-19
). The proper selection of these edges will allow the user
to adjust for the propagation delay of the teletext source, so that the teletext data is
provided to the TTXDAT pin at the proper time. If the falling edge of TTXREQ
does not occur by the end of the video line, the beginning of the new video line
will automatically reset TTXREQ. Legal values for these registers are given in
Table 1-5
.
The data to TTXDAT is sampled on every rising input clock edge and must
meet the following protocol for proper teletext data insertion. The protocol
demands that the teletext data bit duration is the required number of CLKs.
Internal to the chip is a sequencer and a data shaper to minimize the jitter.
Using the midpoint of the falling edge of the horizontal sync pulse as it appears at
the output Y/CVBS or CVBS/G, the teletext data protocol must begin 262 to 264
CLKs later for CCIR601(13.5 MHz pixel rate) or 286 to 288 CLKs later for
Square Pixel Operation (14.75 MHz pixel rate). Relative to the internally
generated teletext window, the protocol must start 5 to 7 clocks earlier. The
teletext window begins at 10.2 μsec from the horizontal sync pulse's falling edge
and the data rate is the specified 6.9375 Mbits/sec.
