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.
