Video Display Questions
Video Display Questions
(OP)
My work has recently taken me into the architecture of video display systems; I'm having difficulty figuring out the best ways to perform some functions and/or locate ICs to do them. First one, is building a small color LCD "monitor" (QVGA) with NTSC/PAL input; small LCDs mostly have digital RGB inputs with external sync/scan. SOMEBODY must have silicon to do this economically. All I've found so far are very complex expensive devices that are severe overkill, at 3 or 4 times my budget, or having to put together a genlock/RGB analog decoder chip, triple video ADC, and a bunch of logic to do the MUX and display timing. The other is implementing OSD and/or simple graphic/text display with NTSC/PAL video (overlaid preferred, but switched will be acceptable if it's really cheap!). Any hints? Anyone know suppliers that have this kind of application information available?

I'm not sure it's not end of life though.

yes, it's obsolete. My first thought after I figured out how crude a solution I needed was, "I wish the Commodore 64 chipset was still around."

Also found Philips and Sony worth a look.

They've killed the Hitachi 6303 too.
I'll have to use H8s now instead.
