Figure 3 Sample Closed Caption Waveform with Timing Information
This is signal was fed to the RCA modulator to produce an RF signal which was then passed thro
a programable attenuator, the Kay 847 Attenuator. The RF signal was then demodulated to
CVBS video via a VCR, the Masushita PV-4624S.
The resulting signal is a applied to the CVBS input of the ADV7403 Evaluation Board with a video
serialiser as backend. The serialised video was fed to the Tektronix VM700 to observe the digital
data the ADV7403 produced
2.System 2 Sensitivity Testing
2.1 Closed Captioned Data Recovery using VBI System 2.
VBI Extraction System 2 is the default ANC System on the ADV7403. This system is used to
decode Gemstar 1x, V-Chip and also Closed Caption. This extracted VBI data is available as
ancillary data in the 656 output
In System 2 data extraction is enabled on a per line basis. GDECEL[15:0](Registers 0x48, 0x49)
allows the user to enable and disable the data recovery on selected video lines on even fields
and GDECOL[15:0](Registers 0x4A, 0x4B) for odd fields. So we must program the decoder to
extract VBI data from Line 21.
Enabling CC Data Recovery via System 2 on the ADV7403
0x4A bit 3 to 1
This data can then be read from the ancillary data stream on Line 20.
ANC data is output 1 Line in advance of where it might be expected due to the fact that data is
sliced prior to the comb filters which introduce latency due to standard video processing. The data
was interpreted and verified. Section 5 gives a detailed description of how the sample closed
caption data from line 21 of the applied signal can be extracted from the ancillary data. It also
describes how the encapsulating data may be interpreted.

2.3 Use of Threshold Adjustment
In debug mode one may adjust the slicing threshold. This may be used to provide more reliable
data-extraction in low level signals with a high noise content.
System 2 Threshold Adjustment on the ADV7403
0x40 bit 7 to 1 Hidden space (Enable Debug mode in the )
0x45 bits 7,6 Hidden space (2 bit control of Slicing threshold level)
If using a 28Mhz crystal the timing parameters in debug mode must be reprogrammed
This can be done by setting the Gemstar registers as below

Effect of using Manual Luma Gain.
The default mode on the ADV7403 is to use the AGC feature. However there is also the option of
using a Fixed Luma Gain. To investigate the operation of CC extraction via System 2 in this
situation, three Luma Gains were applied manually and the above tests were repeated.
A Luma Gain of 0.77, this value was read back from the AGC as a signal direct from the
generator was applied to the decoder. Gain values of 1 and 0.3 were applied.
It was noted that with lower fixed gain values there were more errors in the data reproduced.
Again the extraction could be improved with the lowering of the slice threshold.
Conclusion
From this evaluation we find that without adjusting the slice level threshold reliable VBI Slicing
can be performed on signals
≈36db and above
by reducing the slice level threshold we can achieve valid slicing on signals
≈33db and above.

2.3 Testing the Sensitivity of Closed Caption as passed out Via I2C in Evaluation Mode.
In evaluation mode one may read back via i2c the sliced CC data from each field. The sensitivity
of these readback registers along with the closed caption detection status bit was tested with
signals of various noise levels.

0x4C bit 1 to 1 GDE_EVAL_EN enables Evaluation Mode.

Oberservations
• If VBI_EN is enabled, 0x03 bit 7, this greatly reduces system 2 capability to detect CCAP
and flag the status bit. Test showed a failure to detect CCAP at 37dB.

4.Summary of Findings and Observations
Sensitivity and Usability of System 2 and VDP
•
•
•
•
System 2 can slice data reliably and place in ancillary data from RF signals ≈30db and
above. This can be improved upon to ≈27db and above by adjusting the slice level
threshold.
System 2 I2C readback capability is reliable with RF signals 32db.At lower level the data
begins to be corrupted. However the status bit indicating closed caption detection did not
failed until 27db!
The status bit will fail at a much higher level ~37db if the VBI region is not filtered. This
occurs when VBI_EN is enabled.
These results were recorded from an ideal lab setup. Customers in the field are
achieving reliable VBI slicing from RF signals as low as 41dB with threshold
adjustment.
Observations about operation of System 2
• System 2 closed captioning data on line 20 of Ancillary data.
• Bits in the bytes of ancillary data are in reverse order to the CC data transmitted.
• System 2 ancillary packets line information is based on LineCount so there is a -10 lines
offset in the decoded value.
• System 2 ITU BT 1364 compatible version of ancillary data does not give information
about the framing sequence in the user words.
