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

Address 0x2D[3:0], Address 0x2E[7:0]
Chroma gain[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] function is switched to manual
fixed gain. See Equation 2 for calculating a desired gain.
If read back, this register returns the current gain value.
Depending on the setting in the CAGC[1:0] bits, this is either:
The chroma manual gain value (CAGC[1:0] set to chroma
manual gain mode).
The chroma automatic gain value (CAGC[1:0] set to any of
the automatic modes).

where ChromaCalibrationFactor is a decimal value between 0
and 4095.
Calculation of the Chroma Calibration Factor
1. Apply a CVBS signal with the color bars/SMPTE bars test
pattern content directly to the measurement equipment.
2. Ensure correct termination of 75 on the measurement
equipment. Measure chroma output levels.
3. Reconnect the source to the CVBS input of t
he ADV7180system that has a backend gain of 1. Repeat the
measurement of chroma levels.
4. Turn off the Chroma AGC and manually change the
Chroma Gain Control Register CMG[11:0] until the
chroma level matches that measured directly from the
source.
This value, in decimal, is the chroma calibration factor.
CKE, Color Kill Enable, Address 0x2B[6]
The color kill enable bit allows the optional color kill function
to be switched on or off.
For QAM-based video standards (PAL and NTSC) as well as
FM-based systems (SECAM), the threshold for the color kill
decision is selectable via the CKILLTHR[2:0] bits.
If color kill is enabled and the color carrier of the incoming
video signal is less than the threshold for 128 consecutive video
lines, color processing is switched off (black and white output).
To switch the color processing back on, another 128 consecutive
lines with a color burst greater than the threshold are required.
The color kill option works only for input signals with a modulated
chroma part. For component input (YPrPb), there is no color kill.
Setting CKE to 0 disables color kill.
Setting CKE to 1 (default) enables color kill.
CKILLTHR[2:0], Color Kill Threshold, Address 0x3D[6:4]
The CKILLTHR[2:0] bits allow the user to select a threshold for
the color kill function. The threshold applies only to QAM-based
(NTSC and PAL) or FM-modulated (SECAM) video standards.
To enable the color kill function, the CKE bit must be set. For
Setting 000, Setting 001, Setting 010, and Setting 011, chroma
demodulation inside t
he ADV7180 may not work satisfactorily
for poor input video signals.
