Hello Everyone,

I am interested in buying ntsc video decoder and encoder ic's for a
personal
project. Specifically, I am looking for the simplest possible ic's
that take
in an analog signal and output a ccir656/601 8 bit stream (and vice
versa). No YCbCr->RGB color conversion or video scaling capability is
required, and simple luma/chroma separation would suffice. Does anyone
here have some applicable experience ? If so, please point me to a
good vendor for these, and, if you can, a ball-park estimate of a
price for these.

Thanks in advance,
Ljubisa Bajic

hello,

Try an AD7176 for the Encoder (www.analog.com).

Decoders ... skip the AD7183, TVP5145 is ok but draws a lot of power
and has more than you need , the new TVP5150A is very tiny however I
am just designing first board with this part (www.ti.com) , SAA7111A
but may be harder to get (www.philips.com) , VPX3226 is very cool
(www.micronas.com) , there are other options for special requirements.

www.arrow.com or www.avnet.com will provide pricing ... symmetry
electronics for micronas ... most of these parts are $10-20 depending
upon volume.

Good Luck, Khim Bittle
