Advantiv™ Advanced TV Solutions Meeting Today's Digital Entertainment Challenges
The television has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past decade. Driven by the ongoing digital revolution and well-defined HDTV (high-definition television) standards, TV performance has taken a giant leap forward. more ...

Analysis of Common Failures of HDMI CT
The HDMI standard has been broadly adopted since its release several years ago. In order to bear the HDMI logo, all HDMI products must pass the HDMI Compliance Test (HDMI CT). To save time and money, customers should pre-test their HDMI products before sending them to Authorized Test Centers (ATC) for certification. Based on the experiences of numerous pre-tests performed at Analog Devices' HDMI CT lab, this article discusses the most common system design issues that cause products to fail the HDMI CT. It also analyzes specific case failures and offers solutions. more ...

Processing Nonstandard TV Signals in a Digital World
Despite the rapid advancement of digital TV, analog TV will remain dominant for both transmission and display for several years to come. Analog video formats, like their digital counterparts, have precise specifications as to how to format video properly, including how the luma, chroma and synchronization information is packaged to provide the line, field and frames of video information that re- create the images observed on TV screens. more ...

Audio-Video Synchronization
Technologies such as Digital Television (DTV), DVD, Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS), and Digital Cable use compression techniques to deliver extremely high-quality programming to consumers. With the introduction of advanced video/audio compression standards to transmit audio and video content, there is an increased awareness of the timing relationship between audio and video. more ...

What's Behind Class D Audio Amplifiers?
The goal of audio amplifiers is to reproduce input audio signals at sound-producing output elements, with desired volume and power levels--faithfully, efficiently and at low distortion. Class D amps offer many advantages in getting that job done. more ...
