Product Overview-
FLI2300
Digital Video Format Converter for DTV and DVD applications that
incorporates Faroudja Laboratories' Emmy award winning DCDiTM
and TrueLifeTM deinterlacing and image enhancement algorithms,
coupled with highly flexible scaling and aspect ratio conversion to
convert standard interlaced video signals into high-definition
compatible signals.
The FLI2300 Digital Video Format Converter produces the highest quality upconverted
video output from a variety of interlaced video inputs including 525i/50 (NTSC),
625i/50 (PAL or SECAM), 480p/60, 720p/60, 1080i/60 (ATSC) and RGB graphics up
to SXGA, with a maximum pixel rate of 75 MHz. It uses patented and patent pending
motion-adaptive deinterlacing that selects the optimal filtering on a per-pixel basis to
produce maximum resolution without introducing motion artifacts. This includes film
mode for proper handling of 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown as well as bad edit detection and
correction, technologies invented by Faroudja Laboratories. Prior to deinterlacing, the
built-in motion-adaptive noise-reducer can be used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio,
resulting in further improved deinterlacing. Another proprietary feature is Directional
Correlational Deinterlacing (DCDiTM). This technology identifies edges at any angle in
moving images and interpolates along the edge to produce smooth, natural images
without the staircasing or jaggies produced by other deinterlacing technologies. The
FLI2300 also includes motion-adaptive cross-color suppression that removes highly
objectionable coloration artifacts produced by commonly used video decoders. Flexible
multi-tap horizontal and vertical scalers can be used to upconvert the image to any
resolution up to 1080p or SXGA and to perform aspect ratio conversion. The output
frame rate can be synchronous with the input or changed to be synchronized to a
separate source, and the output can be either progressive or interlaced, with a maximum
output pixel rate of 150 MHz, in either RGB or component formats. On-chip 10-bit
DACs can be used to produce analog outputs in addition to the digital outputs. The
FLI2300 also includes Faroudja Laboratories' TrueLifeTM 2-D non-linear enhancement
processing to ensure the highest possible quality images without introducing the
artifacts typically introduced by sharpening algorithms. The FLI2301 is a variant of the
FLI2300 that also includes a built-in MacrovisionTM copy-protection generator for use
in progressive scan DVD players. The FLI2310 is a variant of the FLI2300 with digital
outputs only.

The FLI2300 includes all clock generation on-chip, and SDRAM controller and input
and output color-space converters. It uses an industry standard two-wire serial interface
for easy control and access to the registers.
Features
Motion-adaptive recursive noise-reducer
improves signal-to-noise ratio without
introducing motion-induced smearing
effects, resulting in further improved
deinterlacing
Patented Faroudja per-pixel motion adaptive
algorithms produces full resolution in the
stationary areas of each frame while
suppressing motion artifacts in the moving
areas
Directional Correlational Deinterlacing
Proprietary per-pixel selection of edge
direction produces smooth and natural
images without staircasing or jaggies
Patented Film-mode produces artifact-free
images by proper handling of 3:2 and 2:2
pulldown materials
Bad-edit detection and correction
compensates for poor scene cuts and video
insertions common in broadcast material

Aspect ratio conversion can be used to
convert letterbox images to full-screen, full-
screen 4x3 images to pillarbox 16x9 or any
other mode
Both horizontal and vertical scaling can be
linear or non-linear for maximum flexibility

or sides of non-full-screen images to be
shown in a wide range of colors and
brightness to suit user's environment
