DIGITAL NOISE REDUCTION (DNR) AND LUMA

PEAKING FILTER

Digital noise reduction is based on the assumption that high

frequency signals with low amplitude are probably noise and

that their removal, therefore, improves picture quality. The

following are the two DNR blocks in the ADV7180: the DNR1

block before the luma peaking filter and the DNR2 block after

the luma peaking filter, as shown in Figure 30.

DNR_TH[7:0], DNR Noise Threshold, Address 0x50[7:0]

The DNR1 block is positioned before the luma peaking block.

The DNR_TH[7:0] value is an unsigned, 8-bit number used to

determine the maximum edge that is interpreted as noise and,

therefore, blanked from the luma data. Programming a large

value into DNR_TH[7:0] causes the DNR block to interpret

even large transients as noise and remove them. As a result, the

effect on the video data is more visible. Programming a small

value causes only small transients to be seen as noise and to be

removed.

Data Sheet

PEAKING_GAIN[7:0], Luma Peaking Gain,

Address 0xFB[7:0]

This filter can be manually enabled. The user can select to boost

or to attenuate the mid region of the Y spectrum around 3 MHz.

The peaking filter can visually improve the picture by showing

more definition on the picture details that contain frequency

components around 3 MHz. The default value on this register

passes through the luma data unaltered. A lower value attenuates

the signal, and a higher value gains the luma signal. A plot of

the filter’s responses is shown in Figure 31.

DNR_TH2[7:0], DNR Noise Threshold 2,

Address 0xFC[7:0]

The DNR2 block is positioned after the luma peaking block

and, therefore, affects the gained luma signal. It operates in the

same way as the DNR1 block, but there is an independent

threshold control, DNR_TH2[7:0], for this block. This value is

an unsigned, 8-bit number used to determine the maximum

edge that is interpreted as noise and, therefore, blanked from

the luma data. Programming a large value into DNR_TH2[7:0]

causes the DNR block to interpret even large transients as noise

and remove them. As a result, the effect on the video data is more

visible. Programming a small value causes only small transients

to be seen as noise and to be removed.
