Method and system for component sync detection and alignment

摘要

In a method and system for component sync detection and alignment, the Y/G channel is used as a master channel from which the vertical and the horizontal syncs are detected by a master sync generator. The master sync generator determines a fast and slow slice level for generating a rough and a fractional detection of the vertical sync and the horizontal sync and also generates a master sync timing window signal. A slave sync generator aligns the Pb/B and Pr/R channels to the Y/G channel by making use of the vertical, horizontal, and timing window sync signals produced by the master sync generator and by generating a slave slice level to detect the vertical and horizontal syncs in the slave channels. Positional differences in the alignment between the master channel and the slave channels are determined and stored for use in subsequent frame alignment.
