SHARPNESS RESPONSE REGISTER (PR)
(Address (SR5–SR0) = 22H)
The sharpness response register is an 8-bit-wide register. The
four MSBs are set to 0. The four LSBs are written to in order to
select a desired filter response. Figure 82 shows the operation
under control of this register.
PR BIT DESCRIPTION
Sharpness Response Select Value (PR3–PR0)
These four bits are used to select the desired luma filter response. The
option of twelve responses is given supporting a gain boost/
attenuation in the range –4 dB to +4 dB. The value 12 (1100)
written to these four bits corresponds to a boost of +4 dB while
the value 0 (0000) corresponds to –4 dB. For normal operation
these four bits are set to 6 (0110). Note: Luma Filter Select has
to be set to Extended Mode and Sharpness Filter Control has to
be enabled for settings in the Sharpness Response Register to
take effect (MR02–04 = 100; MR74 = 1).
Reserved (PR4–PR7)
A Logic 0 must be written to these bits.

DNR REGISTERS 2–0
(DNR 2–DNR 0)
(Address (SR5–SR0) = 23H–25H)
The Digital Noise Reduction Registers are three 8-bit-wide
register. They are used to control the DNR processing. See
also the Functional Description section.
Coring Gain Border (DNR00–DNR03)
These four bits are assigned to the gain factor applied to border
areas.
In DNR Mode the range of gain values is 0–1, in increments of
1/8. This factor is applied to the DNR filter output which lies
below the set threshold range. The result is then subtracted
from the original signal.
In DNR Sharpness Mode the range of gain values is 0–0.5, in
increments of 1/16. This factor is applied to the DNR filter out-
put which lies above the threshold range.
The result is added to the original signal.
Coring Gain Data (DNR04–DNR07)
These four bits are assigned to the gain factor applied to the
luma data inside the MPEG pixel block.
In DNR Mode the range of gain values is 0–1, in increments of
1/8. This factor is applied to the DNR filter output which lies
below the set threshold range. The result is then subtracted
from the original signal.
In DNR Sharpness Mode the range of gain values is 0–0.5, in
increments of 1/16. This factor is applied to the DNR filter out-
put which lies above the threshold range. The result is added to
the original signal.

DNR1 BIT DESCRIPTION
DNR Threshold (DNR10–DNR15)
These six bits are used to define the threshold value in the range
of 0 to 63. The range is an absolute value.
Border Area (DNR16)
In setting DNR16 to a Logic 1 the block transition area can be
defined to consist of four pixels. If this bit is set to a Logic 0 the
border transition area consists of two pixels, where one pixel
refers to two clock cycles at 27 MHz.
Block Size Control (DNR17)
This bit is used to select the size of the data blocks to be pro-
cessed (see Figure 85). Setting the block size control function to
a Logic 1 defines a 16 × 16 pixel data block, a Logic 0 defines an
8 × 8 pixel data block, where one pixel refers to two clock cycles
at 27 MHz.
