The main function of the noise reduction is shown in Fig.3.
It is divided in two signal paths for chrominance and
luminance. Two operating modes can be used in principal:
the fixed and the adaptive mode. In both modes the
applied frequency range, where the noise reduction takes
place, can be reduced or not reduced (I
unfiltered).
The noise reduction operates field recursive with an
average ratio between fresh (new) and over previous fields
averaged (old) luminance and chrominance. Noise
reduction can be activated by forcing the NREN control
signal to HIGH. In this case the system starts with default
settings for noise reduction and noise shape, if clock is
applied to SWCK. If NREN is LOW the noise reduction
block is bridged via a data mux (see Fig.1). During NREN
HIGH, only half of the write frequency, which is allowed
during NREN LOW, can be applied. This is explained by
the need for a second memory read access (READ2) to
get old data (D-field delay) in the same frequency as the
write frequency. The noise reduction is controlled via
I
approximately the same write frequency as the read
frequency for the noise reduction option (32 MHz), a
deactivated self-refresh is required. This setting can be
done via the I
no_refresh).
In the fixed mode, the noise reduction produces a constant
weighted input averaging. Because of smearing effects
this mode should not be used for normal operation except
for K = 1. The fixed mode can be activated separately for
chrominance (I
(I
In the adaptive mode, the averaging ratio (K-factor) is
based on the absolute differences of luminance
respectively chrominance among the inputs. When the
absolute difference is low, only a small part of the fresh
data will be added. In cases of high difference, much of
fresh data will be taken. This occurs in either situation of
movement or where a significant vertical contrast is seen.
The relation between the amount of movement and the
K-factor values is defined via a Look-Up Table (LUT)
where the steps can be programmed (I
Ksteps).
It should be noted that recursion is done over fields, and
that pixel positions between the new and old fields always
have a vertical offset of one line. So averaging is not only
done in the dimension of time but also in the vertical
direction. Therefore averaging vertically on e.g. a vertical
black to a white edge would provide a grey result.

The averaging in chrominance can be slaved optionally to
the luminance averaging (I
Klumatochroma), therefore chrominance differences are
not taken into account for the K-factor setting of the
chrominance signal path.
The noise reduction scheme effectively also decreases the
cross-colour patterns if for the averaging in chrominance
the adaptive noise reduction is slaved to the luminance
averaging (I
The cross-colour pattern does not produce an increase of
the measured luminance difference, therefore this pattern
will be averaged over many fields.

The standard applications are using the 4 : 1 : 1 YUV data
stream (see Table 1). The noise reduction processing
uses internally the 4 : 2 : 2 data stream. An up converter to
4 : 2 : 2 is applied with a linear interpolation filter for
creation of the extra samples. These are combined with
the original samples from the 4 : 1 : 1 stream. Instead of
the 4 : 1 : 1 mode the input or output colour can be
handled as DPCM format which is a certain data
compression (I
4 : 2 : 2 data bandwidth is needed e.g. for applications
together with SAA4978H. The incoming colour data can be
also inverted for special purposes (I
Chroma_inverted).
