4.2.3 Display Modes
The CH7007 display mode is controlled by three independent factors: input resolution, TV format, and scale factor,
which are programmed via the display mode register. It is designed to accept input resolutions of 640x480, 800x600,
640x400 (including 320x200 scan-doubled output), 720x400 and 512x384.
It is designed to support output to either NTSC or PAL television formats. The CH7007 provides interpolated
scaling with selectable factors of 5:4, 1:1, 7:8, 5:6, 3:4 and 7:10 in order to support adjustable overscan or underscan
operation when displayed on a TV. This combination of factors results in a matrix of useful operating modes which
are listed in detail in Table 7.
(1) Note: Percent underscan is a calculated value based on average viewable lines on each TV format, assuming an average TV over-
scan of 10%. (Negative values) indicate modes which are operating in underscan.
The inclusion of multiple levels of scaling for each resolution have been created to enable optimal use of the
CH7007 for different application needs. In general, underscan (modes where percent overscan is negative) provides
an image that is viewable in its entirety on screen; it should be used as the default for most applications (e.g.,
viewing text screens, operating games, running productivity applications and working within Windows).
Overscanning provides an image that extends past the edges of the TV screen, exactly like normal television
programs and movies appear on TV, and is only recommended for viewing movies or video clips coming from the
computer. In addition to the above mode table, the CH7007 also support interlaced input modes, both in CCIR 656
and proprietary formats (see Display Mode Register section).
