TVP5150 question

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TVP5150, TVP5150AM1

HI, all

       I am using TVP5150A  connecting with a PAL camera as input, and connect to DM642.The TVP5150 output is a standard ITU-R  8bit BT656 4:2:2 (720*576) with embedded synchronization(SAV and EAV).The DM642 is used to process the BT656 data.ALL function is OK .However the output video has a black area in the rightest place.

 To find the reason,I want to see weather the BT.656 data output from the tvp5150 is right.I use the CCS to display the picture (Y,Cb,Cr Data is directly picked up by  DM642 from the TVP5150 8 bit BT.656).The problem is the same as before.That is,a picture (720*576)is completely right,but in every line(576),from the 704 pix to the 720 pix is black.So I think the problem is the tvp5150

I try to chang the AVID and the VBLK,but there is no use.

  The TVP5150 is configed like this:

Uint8 vFromat = 0;
Uint8 misc_ctrl = 0x6D;
Uint8 output_format = 0x47;
Uint8 input_sel = 0x00;
Uint8 pin_cfg = 0x02;
Uint8 chro_ctrl_2 = 0x14;

    _IIC_write(hI2C, addrI2C,0x00, &input_sel,1);
    _IIC_write(hI2C, addrI2C,0x03, &misc_ctrl,1);
    _IIC_write(hI2C, addrI2C,0x0D, &output_format,1);
    _IIC_write(hI2C, addrI2C,0x0F, &pin_cfg,1);
    _IIC_write(hI2C, addrI2C,0x1B, &chro_ctrl_2,1);

other regsers are default .

Who can give me some hints? Thanks you very much!

  • Hello Zhengxu,

    I believe the 720 active pixels is include the blank pixels and only 704 active video pixels.  However, we do have patch for TVP5150AM1 that will output true 720 active pixels if you need.  Please let me know.

  • Thank you very much for your answer !

    If it means it is the problem of the Tvp5150AM1 and if I change it to the new Tvp5150AM1 then the problem will be solved?

    I am looking forward to your answering !

    Thank you !

  • Hi Zhengxu,

    No, it means if you want 720 active pixels output, you need to use firmware patch.  Since the TVP5150 has 3 versions, can you give me the ROM version number in the register 82h?  If it is 4 then it is TVP5150AM1 and we have a patch for it.

  • Thank  you for  your  answer!

    The value of the ROM version number in the register 82h of my tvp5150 is 4 .So what should I do to solve the problem?How can I get the firmware patch?

    Thank you very much for your help ,it is very important for me .

  • Hello Viet,

    I am so sorry  to trouble you again.

    My  board is TVP5150+DM642+SAA7105.Fisrtly,I  install  the  WinVcc4  and the port95nt.exe on my computer. Then I power on the board and connect the board with the computer through the JTAG ,TI DSP EMULATOR(TDS510_USB2.0). The computer port isUSB port. (is this OK?)

    Then I open the WinVcc4,VID_DEC I choose the address 0xba and the VID_ENC not_used.Then check the ok. Then it displays I2CTest Report  "TVP5150AM1PBs...FAILED...Read,Dev=0XBA,Addr=oxD1,Data=0X00-Miscompar"

    Then I check the OK,it display problem about parallel cable .It requires that the board has to be connected to the computer from the LTP1 port.I can not understand this.On my computer there is no LTP1 port.   I use the JTAG ,TI DSP EMULATOR(TDS510_USB2.0).  The tvp5150's I2c is connect to the DSP. is it wrong?

    I can not find the datasheet on how to use the WinVcc4 on the ww.ti.com.So I have to troblem you again .

    Thank you

  • Hello Zhengxu,

    Have you download the slec001a.zip under this link?

    http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/tvp5150aevm.html#Support%20Software

    After you install, there is a User's Guide in there that show you how to bring up the TVP5150 EVM with WinVCC.  TVP5150 EVM has only Parallel port so you need a Parallel port from your PC or adapter USB<->Parallel.

    Regards,

  • Hello Viet

    I have download that last time .

    I am just want to know how the TVp5150 connect to the PC.Because I don not not use theTVP5150 EVM  .My board use the TVP5150 and there is no Parallel port on my board like the TVP5150 EVM .My tvp5150 is connect to the DM642.Can I connect to PC with the JTAG other than the Parallel cable?

    Thank you !

    Regards,

    Zhengxu

  • Zhengxu,

    You can communicate to TVP5150 through I2C with DM642 application, not JTAG.
