Description
The FLI8531 as an entry level product offers an integrated video decoder with a 3D comb
filter and proven DCDi Cinema technology.
The Faroudja DCDi Cinema video format converter and Advanced Color Management
(ACM-3D) provide exceptional video quality. The video quality level that was exclusive to
Faroudja Home Theater Systems is now available in a single-chip solution.
The FLI8531 also comprises an integrated Analog Front-End (AFE) with triple ADCs and a
cross-point switch. The flexible AFE ensures simple PCB design with direct connections to
TV tuners and input video connectors. Thus, for a single LCD TV chassis, the FLI8531 is
able to support worldwide standards. For regional variations, connectors and firmware
changes are the only requirements.
The integrated VBI dataslicer and decoder remove the need for external components
resulting in significant cost reduction. The FLI8531 supports many worldwide VBI standards
for applications of Teletext, Closed Captioning, V-Chip, and other VBI services.
The FLI8531 can also be used as part of a digital TV solution with the proven Faroudja DCDi
Cinema video performance.
An embedded microprocessor and a versatile OSD in a single device will facilitate rapid
development of a reliable and attractive product. The FLI8531 utilizes the common Cortez
family firmware making migration easy and effortless across different hardware platforms
within this family.
