OUTPUT TIMEBASE CORRECTOR

摘要

An output timebase corrector converts orthogonal sampled video (VS) into asynchronous sampled video (VOS) with asynchronous sample values occurring at clock instants (TC) of a clock signal (CLK). The asynchronous sampled video (VOS) is displayed on a display screen of a display device (DD). A discrete time oscillator (DTO) of a time-discrete phase-locked loop (PLL) supplies a time base signal (OS). The time-discrete phase-locked loop (PLL) determines a phase difference (PE) between the time base signal (OS) and reference instants (FB) indicating a timing of a line deflection of the display device (DD) to obtain the time base signal (OS) being locked to the reference instants (FB). The time base signal (OS) controls a sample rate converter (SRC) such that the asynchronous video values (VOS) which occur at the clock instants (TC) are interpolated from the orthogonal sampled video (VS) by the sample rate converter (SRC) such that the video signal is displayed on the correct position on the display screen. In the output timebase corrector according to the invention all circuits are clocked by clock signals (CLK) originating from one and the same clock generator (OSC).
