9.10.3 OSD/TXT Control
On pins 35 to 38, the RGB and fast blanking from the OTC
(OSD and TXT) are inserted. The sync signal V
SYNC
is derived
from the 'FRAMEDRIVE’ signal.
9.10.4 Peak White Limiting
On pin 43 there is a Peak White Limiting signal line (PWL). If
the beam current increases, the 'EHT-info' voltage will
decrease. Average limiting via R3343/C2333 controls PWL.
9.10.5 Cut-off Control
The following will happen when you switch the TV to Standby:
1. The vertical scan is completed.
2. The vertical flyback is completed (the horizontal output is
gated with the flyback pulse, so that the horizontal output
transistor cannot be switched “on” during the flyback
pulse).
3. The “slow stop” of the horizontal output is started, by
gradually reducing the “on” time at the horizontal output
from nominal to zero (this will take 50 ms).
4. At the same time, the fixed beam current is forced via the
black-current-loop for 25 ms. This is done by setting the
RGB outputs to a maximum voltage of 5.6V.
In the EM5A a “one-point” cut-off control is used:
A current of 8 µA (for cut-off) is fed to pin 44 of the HOP. This
is done with a measurement pulse during the frame flyback.
During the first frame, three pulses are generated to adjust the
cut-off voltage at a current of 8 uA. With this measurement, the
black level at the RGB-outputs is adjusted. Therefore, at start-
up there is no monitor pulse anymore. At start-up, the HOP
measures the pulses, which come back via pin 44. The RGB-
outputs have to be between 1.5 V and 3.5 V. If one of the
outputs is higher than 3.5 V or one of them lower then 1.5 V,
the RGB-outputs will be blanked.
9.10.6 Geometry Control
All geometry control is done via I
2
C and the data is stored in the
NVM (IC7011) of the SSB.
9.10.7 Deflection Control
Line Drive
The Line drive is derived from an internal VCO of 13.75 MHz.
As a reference, an external resonator is used (1301). The
internal VCO is locked with the H
D100
-pulse, which comes from
the PICNIC.
The 'PHI-2' part in the HOP receives the HFB_X-RAY_PROT
(pin 13) to correct the phase of the Line drive. The EHT-info is
supplied to pin 14 (DYN-PHASE-CORR) to compensate
picture breathing depending on the beam current.
Note: This is not used in the EM5A, therefore EHT-
compensation in the SAM menu is put to zero.
Frame Drive
At pins 1 and 2, the symmetrical frame drive signals are
available. The V
SYNC
signal, for synchronisation of the OSD/
TXT, is derived from the 'FRAMEDRIVE-' signal.
East/West Drive
At pin 3, the E/W drive signal is available. Pin 4 is a feedback
input for the EHT-info, and is used to prevent pumping of the
picture. The EHT varies also dependent on the beam current.
E.g. for wide-screen without load this is 31.5 kV and with load
(1.5 mA) 29.5 kV.
Frame Rotation
For frame rotation, a control voltage is used from pin 25 of the
HOP. Frame rotation is only used in wide-screen sets.
9.10.8 Protections
Flash detection
When a flash occurs, the EHT-info will become negative very
fast. Via R3316, D6304, and D6303, TS7303 starts to conduct.
This makes pin 5 of HOP “high”. The output (pin 8) is
immediately stopped.
If the H-drive stops, then also pin 5 will become “low” again,
which will reset the flash detection.
A bit (FLS) is set in an output status register, so that the OTC
can see that there was a flash. This FLS-bit will be reset when
the OTC has read that register.
HFB protection
If the HFB is not present, this is detected via the HOP. The OTC
puts the set into protection and reads a register in the HOP. An
error code is generated.
9.11 Synchronisation (Diagram B2, B3 & B4)
9.11.1 Synchronisation for 50 Hz signals
The HIP video processor provides the vertical and horizontal
sync pulses V
A50
and H
A50
. They are synchronised with the
incoming CVBS signal. Then these pulses are fed to the
PICNIC, where they are doubled to be synchronous with the
100 Hz picture. The outgoing pulses, V
D100
and H
D100
, are fed
to the HOP, which supplies the vertical and horizontal drive
pulses and the 100 Hz (2f
H
) sandcastle pulse.
The V
D100
pulse from the PICNIC is inverted by TS7304 to the
V
D
signal. The OTC is synchronised on the HFB pulse from the
CRT and on the V
SYNC
from the HOP, for the synchronisation
of TXT/OSD/EPG
When no CVBS is offered to the video processor, the V
A50
and
H
A50
pulses are switched “off” by the HIP, and the pulses are
generated by the PICNIC (to assure a stable OSD).
9.11.2 Synchronisation for 60 Hz signals
The HIP video processor provides the vertical and horizontal
sync pulses V
A50
and H
A50
. They are synchronized with the
incoming CVBS signal. These pulses are then fed to the
PICNIC, where they are doubled to be synchronous with the
120 Hz picture. The outgoing pulses, V
D100
and H
D100
, are fed
to the HOP, which supplies the vertical and horizontal drive
pulses.
The V
D100
pulse from the PICNIC is inverted by TS7304 to the
V
D
signal. The OTC is synchronized on the HFB pulse from the
CRT and on the V
SYNC
from the HOP, for the synchronization
of CC/OSD/EPG.
When no CVBS is offered to the video processor, the HIP
switches “off” the V
A50
and H
A50
pulses, and the pulses are
generated by the PICNIC (to assure a stable OSD.)
